Elbit Systems–Cyclone of Israel and Mahindra Aerostructures have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the production of aerostructures parts and assemblies.
Under the arrangement, Cyclone will source content for its existing work packages from Mahindra.

The company’s customer base includes Boeing (commercial and military), Bombardier, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Spirit Aerosystems, Sikorsky, Textron Aviation and Triumph.
