ROCKWELL BIB BOMBER. Westland. Even the ones we didn't make couldn't have made it without us. Over the years we have been privileged to contribute to some of the world's leading aircraft designs - with technical innovations as diverse as the aircraft they were destined for. And the diversity of expertise we have destroys the myth that, when you mention Westland, you're only talking about helicopters. You will find our composites providing flight-critical components for the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, as well as forming primary composite structures for the wing panels on the Boeing 737-300. Westland designed and built the automatic wing-sweep actuators for the Panavia Tornado fighter. Whilst the Rockwell Corporation has us to thank for the unique oxygen generating system onboard their B-1B bomber. We've got 25 years' experience in space launch vehicle technology. (In fact, ours was the only British space launch vehicle ever to put a satellite in orbit.) Not that any of this activity has distracted us from our pioneering work in helicopters. A Westland Lynx holds the World Helicopter Speed Record. And the EHI01, the result of our collaboration with Agusta of Italy, sets new standards in helicopter safety, performance and endurance. So if you've.always seen us as a specialist company, you would be right. We just happen to specialise in rather more areas than most people think.
