State-owned aerospace manufacturer Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) has executed a programme for the delivery of rear fuselage of Gulfstream (G-150) aircraft for Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI).
The Bangalore-headquartered navratna company on Tuesday handed over the first rear fuselage to IAI, signifying the company’s gradual rise from being a manufacturer of door assemblies to being the supplier of vital parts of the aircraft.
Gulfstream (G-150) is a business executive aircraft built by the US-based Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in partnership with the IAI. The G-150 is manufactured in the IAI production facilities in Tel Aviv, before being transported to the US for further furnishing. The G-150 is marketed globally by Gulfstream.
