A Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on the production of aerostructures parts and assemblies was signed at the Paris Air Show, between Elbit Systems-Cyclone ("Cyclone") of Israel and Mahindra Aerostructures ("Mahindra") of India.

Under this arrangement, Cyclone will source content for their existing work packages from Mahindra, and the two companies will also team up on new work opportunities, leveraging each other's strengths, capacities and capabilities.

Mahindra currently operates a large aerostructures manufacturing facility near Bengaluru. The plant produces parts for its global customer base, which includes reputed OEMs and Tier 1s, and is also exporting primary structural assemblies for the Mahindra Airvan 8 aircraft.

Cyclone, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., serves as Elbit Systems' design and manufacturing centre for composite and metal structural aircraft assemblies and parts for leading aerospace companies and OEMs. Cyclone's prestigious customer base includes Boeing (commercial and military), Bombardier, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Spirit Aerosystems, Sikorsky, Textron Aviation, Triumph and others. Over the last five decades, Cyclone has designed and produced unique assemblies for civil and military aircraft.
