AIRCRAFT PRODUCERS UNITE.

Moscow’s Mil Helicopter Plant on December 9 became the fourth partner in an effort to create an aviation-based financial-industrial-group that already includes the aircraft producers Sukhoi and Yak, as well as the Tupolev ANTK complex. The original trio signed an agreement launching the effort on December 3. The goal is to create an integrated organizational structure that will allow the member companies to better compete in the highly-competitive international aircraft market.
