The Greek order for twenty NH90s included a work offset agreement. Now, after more than five
years of planning, negotiations, implementation, training and qualifying, Hellenic Aerospace
Industry (HAI) has started manufacturing composite parts at its new facility, which Eurocopter
helped set up. HAI is using the most cutting-edge equipment: Ultrasound robots and a laserassisted
layup machine.
Three years after the new facility was officially opened by the Greek prime minister, the first
forward and central modules for the NH90, as well as Fenestron parts for the EC135, were
delivered to the
assembly lines in
Donauwörth and
Albacete: The quality
of the parts was
impeccable. |
