Taiwan aircraft producer Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) and Aero Vodochody from the Czech Republic have set up a joint venture to develop, produce and sell the Ae270 utility aircraft.
The agreement, announced at Le Bourget, enables both parties to exploit the aircraft's potential in both military and civilian markets.
The Ae270 is a single-engine pressurised turboprop aircraft for six to nine passengers.
Two variants are distinguished by the type of engine, Canadian-built PT6 or Czech-built Walter M601.
