Leonardo Prepares for AW149 Production
Leonardo will install production infrastructure at Yeovil in advance of the UK NMH selection due in answer to the program’s aggressive timeline.

In the last quarter of this year the initial tooling for an AW149 production line will be delivered to Leonardo UK's helicopter research, test, and manufacturing facility at Yeovil. The company is making this investment so that the factory will be ready to meet the UK Ministry of Defence’s timeframe for receiving the New Medium Helicopter, for which the AW149 is a candidate. The stated in-service date is 2025.
