Eurocopter EC-145, She's a beauty but it's a helicopter you don't want to fly in if you know what I mean, at least this one.

Way cool. So what is it you make? Looks like some type of transmission?

Had no idea there were that many manufacture's out there.

Some really big bucks, eh?

We really don't make anything. But we overhaul and repair certain dynamic components, such as the transmission for certain model of aircraft for Eurocopter. There are a handful of helicopter manufacturer's in the world, Eurocopter is probably the largest. It's a French brand. Bell and Siskorsky are US manufacturers and Augusta is from Italy which are the companies I just listed dominate the global market.

Engines are separate. But all the major players were there too, Safran, Pratt and Whitney, Honewell, etc.
 
nice ..but were there any of these beasts about ?

Boeing AH-64 Apache
