This is the eleventh aircraft updated by the firm, which expects to deliver another two before the end of the year.
The Argentine Aircraft Factory ‘Brigadier San Martín’ (Fadea) delivered a new modernized AB 206 B1 helicopter to the Argentine Army (EA). This unit is part of the batch of helicopters acquired from Italy and that, little by little, are modernized by Fadea. Throughout this semester, the company plans to deliver two more units.
The tasks on these aircraft involve the following tasks: structural inspection, systems, avionics, painting, upholstery, engine, functional tests and modernization. With these works, the Army not only seeks to return the units to service but also to adapt them to the current military airworthiness regulations.
