Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Liebherr have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that lays the basis for future strategic co-operations in the field of on-board systems for HAL’s current and future aircraft programmes.

Within the frame of the agreement, Indian aircraft manufacturer HAL and OEM Liebherr-Aerospace will co-operate to identify and define the best solutions for HAL’s fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft in landing gears, actuation, air management and power conversion systems.

This MoU is a great additional step in the collaboration between HAL and Liebherr that dates back several decades. Together with the strengthening of Liebherr-Aerospace’s presence in India, the signature of the contract will enable the acceleration of additional joint projects between HAL and Liebherr.

Arup Chatterjee, Board Member and Director Engineering and R&D of HAL, and Nicolas Bonleux, Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer of Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS, shake hands after the signature of the MoU.
