During
Balt Military Expo 2014, Airbus Helicopters unveiled a new cooperation
with three Polish Universities: Lodz University of Technology, Gdansk
University of Technology and Kazimierz Pulaski University of Technology
and Humanities of Radom. At the Natcon Conference held during this exhibition,
Jean-Brice Dumont, Airbus Helicopters’ Executive Vice President
Engineering, spoke about “Future vertical lift solutions in defense
and homeland security based on the X³ experience”. |
“By
strengthening our cooperation, Airbus Helicopters is ready to help develop
the future of Poland’s helicopter sector, while also benefitting
from the country’s intellectual and industrial resources,”
Dumont explained.
He added that the Lodz University of Technology’s contribution
to Airbus Helicopters’ X³ program was a factor in this hybrid
demonstrator’s successful flight test campaign, which culminated
in surpassing previous high-speed flights by a helicopter. “Our
collaboration demonstrated that Lodz University of Technology is an
excellent and reliable partner, capable of following a rigorous and
ambitious schedule,” Dumont stated. “Together, we opened
the horizons of flight with the X³!” |
