Denel Airmotive will become the sole supplier of auxiliary gearboxes on the Rolls-Royce Tay engine for the Gulfstream IVSP, following the signing of a long term agreement with Rolls-Royce. The deal is part of the Industrial Participation Programme resulting from South Africa's acquisition of the BAE Systems' Hawk trainer, which is powered by the Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour engine. The contract is worth R30 million ($3.96 million) per year over the next 10 years. Denel has also secured a deal with General Electric on the supply of auxiliary gearboxes and power take-off assemblies for the GE CF34 engine, which powers the Canadair Challenger. Deliveries will start in the second half of the year and will continue for a minimum of five years.
