Aircraft Industries Purchases GE's M601 And H80 Engines for L410 Aircraft

Czech Manufacturer Plans Production Rate Of 10+ Aircraft Per Year

Aircraft Industries, a Czech-based aircraft manufacturer, has signed a five-year sales agreement with GE Aviation for the purchase of M601 and H80 engines. The engine agreement is for the L410-UVP-E20 aircraft, a twin-engine commuter aircraft, with annual production of 10+ units.

The deal is GE's first H80 engine agreement for the commuter segment. "Currently, the majority of L410 aircraft are flying in Russia, South America, and Africa, and we're looking forward to growing the fleet in other regions with the GE H80-powered L410," said Paul Theofan, president and managing executive of GE Aviation's Business and General Aviation Turboprops.
 
The H80 engine features significantly advanced hot-day takeoff performance and high-altitude cruise speeds, which will enable the L410 to operate in additional locations.

Aircraft Industries plans to complete GE H80-powered L410 aircraft certification by mid-2012. Once introduced, the company will also offer an H80 engine replacement on already produced aircraft powered by M601 engines. The L410 aircraft first entered service in 1969, More than 1,100 units have been produced, and there are more than 450 aircraft in service today.
