Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. today announced that it has commenced deliveries under a contract from Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) to provide its industry-leading Rotor Ice Protection System for use in the new Korean Utility Helicopter (KUH).

"Curtiss-Wright is excited to partner with Korean Aerospace Industries to provide our Rotor Ice Protection System technology for use on the important new KUH rotorcraft," said David Adams, Co-Chief Operating Officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.

The Curtiss-Wright Controls facility located in City of Industry, CA, is manufacturing the products covered by this agreement. The products are being shipped to KAI in South Korea.
