ROLLE, SWITZERLAND (BNS): Honeywell has signed a contract to supply its F124-GA-200 turbofan engines for the Israel Ministry of Defence's (IMOD) new 30-strong Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master advanced jet trainer fleet.
The contract is worth approximately $735 million and includes engine supply and aftermarket support, the Company said.
The purchase of the F124-powered M-346 by the IMOD comes at a time when numerous defence departments, including that of the United States, are evaluating new training platforms to simulate the latest fighter aircraft such as the F-22, F-35, Eurofighter, Gripen and Rafale.
