One more COI request: Aerospace section
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi again! I've taken a stab at updating the Aerospace section, which was removed from the article for being unsourced. This had to undergo some more significant changes than the History section in order to reflect available sources:
==Aerospace==- Parker Hannifin's aerospace division, Parker Aerospace, designs and manufactures aerospace hydraulic equipment. It is a major provider of aircraft parts, including fuel system components and high-temperature bleed air valves.[1] Based in Irvine, California,[2] Parker Aerospace also runs facilities in Arizona and Mexico.[1]The company has had contracts to contribute parts and maintenance for machinery produced by Airbus,[3] Rolls-Royce, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China and others.[4]
In 1993, the Federal Aviation Administration contracted Parker Aerospace to develop a new monitoring device, the Multi-Sensor Enroute Flight Inspection System, for flight inspection aircraft.[5] Notable acquisitions include the Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Abex/NWL division of Pneumo Abex in 1996,[2][6] and Naples, Florida-based Shaw Aero Devices, in 2007.[1] In 2012, the company partnered with General Electric to form a 50-50 joint venture, Advanced Atomization Technologies, for producing fuel nozzles for commercial aircraft engines.[7]
Also requesting a tweak to the "Key people" parameter of the infobox: Donald E. Washkewicz is no longer Chairman; Thomas L. Williams is both CEO and Chairman.[8]

My hunch is that it would make sense to turn the "Boeing 737 incidents" and "F-35" sections currently in the article into subsections of the Aerospace section, but I'll leave that to your discretion. Again, I have a COI and won't be editing the article directly. Thank you for your help. Mary Gaulke (talk) 20:59, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, we've also uploaded a photo of Parker's headquarters for use in the article, as requested by the template above. It can be added to the infobox beneath the logo and caption:
| image = Parker Hannifin's Global Headquarters.jpg- | image_size = 250px
| image_caption = Parker Hannifin's Global Headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio- Thanks again! Mary Gaulke (talk) 18:27, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
Done. Thanks for bringing up the lack of action on your requests at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation. I am now watching this article so future requests should be handled more expeditiously. - Ahunt (talk) 16:00, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
