EADS North America will produce the UH-145 rotary wing aircraft, the company’s offering for the U.S. Army’s Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), at the American Eurocopter state-of-the-art Columbus, Mississippi facility.
The announcement was made by Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, EADS CEO Thomas Enders and Ralph D.
