Polish helicopter manufacturer PZL-Swidnik has signed a preliminary agreement with Brazil's Aeromot, opening the way to licensed production negotiations. According to Swidnik, Aeromot wants to produce the W-3 Sokol multi-purpose helicopter in Brazil, where it claims that there is a substantial market for the aircraft. The Polish company stresses that talks are at an early stage, and commitments to buy the helicopter must be obtained before any production agreement is made with the Porto Alegre-based maintenance and aero-structures company.
