AUG 18, 2005 (newstodate): Airbus and Irkut, the Russian scientific production corporation, have signed a preliminary agreement on Russian participation in A350 development and future Airbus aircraft programmes.
The letter of intent confirms Airbus' proposal for Russian aviation industry participation in the design and manufacture of the A350 on a risk-sharing basis.
Irkut signed the letter of intent on behalf of Unified Aviation Consortium, UAC, the new umbrella organisation that is being formed as a result of the restructuring of the Russian aviation industry.
Last December Irkut won Airbus work packages worth USD200 million over ten years, and is currently launching production of A320 Family components at its facility in Irkutsk.
