FARNBOROUGH, England - July 20, 2026 - Crane Aerospace & Electronics, part of the Aerospace & Advanced Technologies segment of Crane Company (NYSE:CR), is supplying an innovative Brake Control System (BCS) for Otto Aerospace’s Phantom 3500 business jet.

Crane A&E is collaborating with Otto Aerospace to provide a BCS solution that leverages Crane A&E’s highly modular and adaptable Standard Systems Architecture BCS. This approach provides industry-leading anti-skid braking performance and pedigree for safe and effective landing at an optimized schedule and cost for Crane A&E customers.

“We are pleased to continue our history of providing world-class brake control systems to the industry’s most innovative aircraft platforms,” said Ryan Sands, Crane A&E Vice President & General Manger, Landing & Control Systems. “Otto Aerospace will be utilizing our latest high performance BCS solution, and we look forward to partnering with them to provide proven system pedigree and performance that their operators can count on.”

Crane A&E is an industry-leader in brake control solutions for commercial and defense aircraft. In 1947, Crane A&E’s heritage brand, Hydro-Aire, partnered with Boeing to deliver the industry’s first anti-skid braking system. Today, Crane A&E brake control systems are flying on thousands of aircraft around the globe, helping aircraft stop every 1.2 seconds.

For Otto Aerospace, the partnership with Crane A&E adds a proven, flight-critical capability to the Phantom 3500 program. The aircraft's ability to operate from smaller airports typically inaccessible to conventional business jets places a premium on braking performance, and Crane A&E's Standard Systems Architecture BCS delivers that performance in a compact, weight-efficient package aligned with the program's exacting efficiency standards.

"The Phantom 3500 is designed to bring passengers closer to their destinations using shorter runways, and that capability depends on a brake control system we can trust without compromise," said Kyle Heironimus, Chief Technology Officer of Otto Aerospace. "Crane A&E's proven anti-skid performance and modular architecture made them the right choice, and we are excited to have them on the team as we move toward our next Flight Test Vehicle."
