German navigation and sensor systems developer Northrop Grumman Litef has appointed Texas Aerospace Technologies as a distributor of its attitude heading reference systems (AHRS) and inertial reference systems (IRS) products. In addition to being responsible for aftermarket sales and marketing of Litef’s products, the Abilene-based subsidiary of Texas Aerospace Services also will develop supplemental type certificate (STC) programs to expand Litef's market share and enable more operators access to a lighter AHRS/IRS system in their aircraft.

“We see a tremendous opportunity to capture additional market share and fill the need of quick fulfillment by stocking these products for our customers,” said Texas Aerospace Technologies v-p Brad Sutphin.

Besides product distribution and STC development and certification, Texas Aerospace Technologies offers engineering and parts manufacturer approval manufacturing and kitting services for business, commercial, and military aircraft.
