Aerospace & Electronics

Crane’s Aerospace & Electronics segment delivers high-precision, mission-critical technologies across commercial aerospace, defense, and space. Our proven systems, reliable components, and integrated solutions perform in the world’s toughest environments—from engines and landing gear to satellites and electronic countermeasure systems.

With a legacy of engineering leadership and foundational technologies that have become industry standards, Crane A&E continues to shape the future of advanced aviation and space systems. Through significant R&D investment and deep customer collaboration, we are driving next-generation innovations in electrification, zero-emissions propulsion, advanced sensing, and safety-critical systems.

Electrification solutions meeting the growing demand for more-electric, hybrid-electric, and all-electric aircraft and vehicles, with higher power and more efficient conversion.

Zero-emissions technologies supporting sustainable fuel programs and advancing innovations in hydrogen fuel systems.

Next-generation space solutions including higher-efficiency microwave technology and advanced power conversion components that enable vital missions and satellite constellations.

Sensing and advanced connectivity solutions that combine industry-leading proximity and pressure sensing with modular design, rugged packaging, and wireless connectivity.

Enhanced safety and security solutions including innovations in braking systems and increasingly sophisticated runway condition monitoring.

Sensing Systems provides components and systems for condition and position sensing, and pressure and flow measurement, with high-accuracy, reliability and engineered to excel in rugged aerospace environments. Selected applications include proximity sensors and systems for landing gear, doors and flight control surfaces, as well as tire pressure sensor and monitoring systems and fuel gauging systems.

We believe sensing systems is well positioned to benefit from trends, including electrification, and it is already delivering new solutions for next generation systems, including lighter weight components and systems, and sensors with rapidly configurable architectures and longer-range wireless data transmission capabilities.

Landing Systems provides hydraulic and electric brake control systems with antiskid and autobrake functionality, as well as electronic and hydraulic subsystems for landing gear control. Crane invented the first antiskid brake control system in 1947 and, since then, has supplied the brake control systems for all Boeing commercial aircraft, major U.S. military aircraft platforms and numerous other narrowbody, regional and business jet aircraft platforms.
