Bell Helicopter, Textron Aviation Inc., Textron Aviation Defense
LLC, Textron Systems, and TRU Simulation + Training, all businesses
of Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT), will showcase a vast product portfolio
at the Dubai Airshow—one of the world’s largest and most important
aerospace events. The show takes place November 12-16 at DWC, Dubai
Airshow Site. Textron will be displaying at the Textron Chalet A43
to A45 located outside the exhibition hall.
“The Dubai Airshow is an ideal venue to display our unique range
of tactical turboprop and jet aircraft, unmanned aircraft,
precision weapons and aviation training solutions in the Middle
East—one of the world’s fastest growing aerospace regions,” says
Scott Donnelly, Textron’s Chairman and CEO. “We are excited to
bring so many of our latest products and technologies together in
one exhibition.”
Bell Helicopter
Bell Helicopter invites attendees to
the Textron chalet. This year, attendees will have
the opportunity to speak with subject matter experts and learn
about Bell Helicopter’s full line of aircraft. Visitors will also
have the opportunity to learn more about the company’s integrated
global support and service offerings, including Bell Helicopter’s
Customer Advantage Plans which provide customers with total
aircraft coverage through the entire lifecycle of the aircraft.
Attendees will get to view several aircraft mockups on static
display including:
- Bell 505 Jet Ranger X is the perfect
military trainer, which offers incredible value unlike any other
helicopter in its class. Designed to be easier and safer to fly
thanks to its superior standard equipment and state-of-the-art
Garmin 1000H TM glass cockpit.
- Bell 525 Relentless, with its
luxurious and decadent interior, is also designed to be the safest,
most technologically advanced commercial helicopter in its class.
The 525 is the first fly-by-wire commercial helicopter in the
world.
- Bell V-280 Valor is an aircraft
that will provide unmatched speed, range, payload, agility,
survivability and endurance at an affordable cost.
In addition, the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey will also be
exhibited at the show. The Osprey routinely performs a variety of
global missions as the most in-demand aircraft with the United
States Marine Corps. The flexibility of tiltrotor is repeatedly
demonstrated in crisis response and humanitarian relief campaigns,
and the V-22 continues to transform rotorcraft operations
everywhere.
Textron Aviation
Textron Aviation and Textron Aviation Defense, a subsidiary of
Textron Aviation Inc., will be highlighting their defense and
special mission capabilities at the Dubai Air Show this year,
including a static display of the innovative Scorpion and special
mission-equipped Beechcraft King Air 350i and Cessna Grand Caravan
EX.
The Scorpion is a bold, new, adaptable multi-role tactical jet
with unparalleled acquisition and operating costs. Designed and
built with leading-edge technologies, the Scorpion’s modular and
scalable architecture allows for the ease of future upgrade
requirements, ensuring the platform can evolve with changing
defense needs. The Scorpion excels at intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance (ISR), armed reconnaissance, close air support
(CAS), and light attack missions with its twin-engine jet speeds
and ability to precisely and quietly locate and engage enemy
targets. A next-generation combat aircraft, the Scorpion has the
ability to carry multiple sensors to deliver precision weapons via
three payload bays and six hard points, delivering a tactical
advantage to even the most demanding situations.
Throughout the week, Textron Aviation Defense will also display
the King Air 350i and Cessna Grand Caravan EX, featuring flexible
interiors designed for numerous special mission applications.
Aboard the aircraft will be a surveillance console, medical
stretcher and a variety of seating configurations. Also on display
will be a mockup of the hard point provisions for the Cessna Grand
Caravan EX platform.
Textron Systems
Textron Systems will exhibit the NIGHTWARDEN Tactical Unmanned
Aircraft System (TUAS), Aerosonde HQ, G-CLAW precision weapon
system and FURY precision guided weapon at the 2017 Dubai
Airshow.
Textron Systems’ family of TUAS offers unparalleled experience
with more than one million flight hours from operations around the
world. At the Dubai Airshow, Textron Systems will display its
latest TUAS platform—the NIGHTWARDEN system. This next-generation
platform offers greater endurance and payload capacity than the
company’s other TUAS. With a dual-payload configuration, extended
endurance and a satellite communications capability, the
NIGHTWARDEN TUAS offers great flexibility and power to meet various
mission requirements.
The Aerosonde HQ, which combines
maturity and reliability with mission flexibility and a very small
operational footprint, will also be showcased. The Aerosonde HQ
incorporates the vertical takeoff and landing capabilities of a
multi-rotor platform with the proven efficiency, range and speed of
the Aerosonde Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS) fixed-wing
aircraft. This capability may be integrated onto existing or new
Aerosonde systems, within 30 minutes, yielding an extremely diverse
mission set.
Textron Systems will also highlight two products from its Weapon
& Sensor Systems business, the G-CLAW and FURY precision guided
weapon systems. The FURY and G-CLAW precision guided weapons
utilize global positioning system/inertial navigation system and a
Semi-Active Laser Seeker, to provide high levels of accuracy for
weapon guidance and target engagement. Both systems utilize
advanced warhead designs and a tri-mode fuze for maximizing
lethality against a wide range of targets.
