Technofan is present on the whole aerospace market: commercial and military planes and helicopter, business jets commuters. 80 % of the Technofan net sales derive from the civil market with one leading client: Airbus. Air ventilation system (AVS) valves and fans, avionics bay AVS, brake cooling fans equip the whole single-aisle A320 aircraft family. But the major program for Airbus and Technofan is the A380. On this program, Technofan is no more an equipment supplier but a system supplier as it is in charge of the complete avionics ventilation system. To face the challenge, Technofan was supported by the Snecma group specialists in electronics, software, mechanics and dynamics.Technofan was also selected for the cabin ventilation equipment. Today, 42 Technofan equipement will be on-board the A380. And more contracts might show up. Thirty Technofans engineers are dedicated to the A380 program, covering design, logistics, methods, software, procurement…
The other big clients of Technofan have to be mentioned: Bombardier and Embraer. These manufacturers represents 80% of the Technofan share on the commuters market. Besides the Embraer 120, 135 and 145, Technofan has also won a couple of contracts for the Embraer’s ALX jet trainer. 76 aircraft were ordered by the Brazilian air force, that also put an option on 23 more aircraft. Technofan will deliver six fans on the ALX: two for the ECS (identical to those embarked on the Embraer 1230) and four fans SF92 for the avionics ventilation. Thanks to its integrated electronics, this brand new equipment has a reduced volume. Ten first sets will leave Toulouse (France) this year and deliveries will be completed by the end of 2006.
On the helicopters market, Technofan has a strong relation with Eurocopter on the Tiger (Main Gear Box for the oil cooling system) but also on the NH90. For this tactic transport helicopter, the requests of Eurocopter, NHI main shareholder, were very specific (see Technofan on NH90). Technofan is also aboard the EH101 and the Agusta/Westland A109.

As for the services, Technofan set up a worlwide network of proximity with some fifty people dedicated to the client support, with three repair stations in Toulouse, Singapore and Seattle, allowing less than 10 days-TAT. To get closer to its north and south American clients, Technofan created Technofan Inc, a 100 % American company that develops and produces ventilation equipment for the local market. Technofan hopes the presence of this US subsidiary will help the French company to be a potential supplier for Boeing's latest programme, the 7E7. In the meantime, things are going pretty well for Technofan, which has already signed contracts with Cessna and Donaldson, as well as a Memoranding of Understanding with a California-based ventilation company.
