The United States Army recently took the first steps into obtaining thirty-five more UH-72 Lakota Helicopters. The army is looking to secure a contract with Airbus, the manufacturer of the UH-72. Airbus is the sole owner of the technical data on the UH-72, which means potential competitors are non-existent. For anyone else to produce UH-72 parts, data will have to be acquired and approved by the OEM. Airbus has delivered over 400 UH-72’s to the army since 2006, it is the only aircraft the army can use that has an airworthiness certificate by design. By placing this large order, the army is keeping the Airbus factory busy and keep jobs in place. The army will need these helicopters to keep their fleet up to date.
