Triumph Systems & Support executive vice-president William Kircher said: “We are excited to supply hydraulic products for Bell’s offering for the FARA programme.

“Our ability to apply previously developed designs and technology will minimise technical and schedule risks for the program and supports Bell’s efforts to meet the US Army’s mandatory execution and funding profile requirements for the FARA award.”

Last month, Triumph Group and the Triumph Group Foundation supported organisations assisting and treating people directly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Triumph produced personal protective equipment (PPE) and components in its manufacturing facilities for oxygen distributors for first responders and local hospitals.

Later, the company also announced furloughs for nearly 2,300 employees working across its plants in the US and Europe to reduce capacity associated with Boeing Commercial Aircraft programmes.
