Eurocopter and Canada’s National Research Council (NRC) signed a 10-year agreement on research and technology cooperation, ranging from manufacturing technologies to flight tests for environmental investigations.

The deal with Eurocopter comes a day after the NRC and the Boeing Company announced that they have found a way to create ice crystals in a simulated aircraft engine test rig in air temperatures above the freezing point, a capability the NRC describes as a significant step forward in the understanding of how ice accumulates under such conditions.
