HAL teams up with Magellan
11 February 2011: Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) has teamed up with Canada based MNC Magellan Aerospace to design and develop a new wire strike protection system (WSPS) for its advanced light helicopter.
The protection system will be made at Magellan's Bristol Aerospace division. The WSPS protect helicopters from potentially devastating consequences of accidental encounters with horizontally strung wires and cables. The system includes an upper and lower cutter and windshield deflector designed by Bristol and which will be integrated into the ALH structure. Magellan designs and manufactures aeroengine and aerostructure assemblies and parts for Defence and aerospace markets.
