A major new Eurofighter deal has been agreed which will involve parts and final assembly at BAE Systems’ facilities at Warton and Samlesbury.
The deal was announced at the South Korea at the Seoul International Aerospace & Defence Exhibition 2013, with delivery expected before the end of 2015.
In addition, the package will include further improvements to the Flight Control System (FCS) and the Utility Control System (UCS) that will allow the Eurofighter Typhoon to be more compatible with evolving requirements within the Commercial Aviation air space environment.
