Bloomfield aerospace manufacturer Kaman Corp. said it’s signed a deal with Boeing worth $60 million to make and assemble two sections of the 747-8 jet airliner.
Under the agreement, Kaman will manufacture two major sections of the wing-to-body fairing, which is designed to reduce drag on the plane. Boeing has been making the fairing itself at a facility in Winnipeg, Canada.
Kaman will make most of the components in Connecticut, Florida, Kansas and Vermont, with final assembly in Jacksonville, Fla.
