 Today, at the Venegono Superiore (VA) plant of the Leonardo's Aircraft Division, the ceremony for the delivery of the nacelle 7.000 number to UTC Aerospace Systems took place today.

The contract, acquired in the 1994, has seen an important growth in production accruals over the years, which has reached an annual average of deliveries over 500 units.

With over 15.000 units built, Leonardo makes the nacelles for large Airbus airliners, the Embraer regional aircraft, the Sukhoi Superjet 100, the Comac ARJ21 and the Dassault executive jets.

Leonardo's engineering and production capabilities allow the design and construction of nacelles able to satisfy the complex acoustic, aerodynamic and structural requirements, managing the various phases of product life, including logistic support.

Leonardo is a leader in the nacelle production sector and also works in partnership and through collaborations like the one with the company MHD, a joint venture with Safran Nacelles.

Leonardo is actively involved in research in this area, particularly in the aspects of reducing the impact of commercial aircraft engines.
