The respected manufacturer Dowty Hydraulic Units can trace its origins back to 1931, with the establishment of the Aircraft Components Company. This company’s founder was the prominent inventor and businessman George Dowty (1901-1975). As the organisation’s name implies, it was involved during these early years in the creation of parts and components for the aviation industry.
The Aircraft Components Company rapidly gained a reputation for cutting-edge designs, especially relating to its work with the Gloster Aircraft Company. These successes inspired George Dowty to launch Dowty Aviation. This newly founded company played a pivotal role in outfitting British aircraft with landing gears and hydraulic units during World War II, and Dowty Aviation soon became a widely recognised leader in the field.
After WWII concluded, Dowty Aviation expanded its operations to include the manufacture of industrial pumps, suspension forks, hydraulic pit props, hydraulic control systems, and other devices. Dowty Hydraulic Units was founded in 1950. In 1954, Dowty Group was established to manage George Dowty's growing business empire.
The odyssey of Dowty ended in 1992 when the company was acquired by TI Group and ceased operations shortly afterward. Although Dowty no longer manufactures equipment, the company's aftermarket parts remain in high demand. Dowty's quality products include actuation systems, propeller systems, tubular systems, turbine engine components, and various hydraulic pumps and motors.
