RICHMOND, British Columbia, September 15, 2005 -- The Honourable Raymond Chan, Minister of State (Multiculturalism), on behalf of the Honourable David L. Emerson, Minister of Industry, today announced a $3.5-million investment to develop new methods for maintaining and repairing helicopter engines and other aircraft components over their life cycle.
This Technology Partnerships Canada (TPC) investment is part of a project costing up to $11.7 million being undertaken by Vector Aerospace Corporation through its subsidiary, ACROHELIPRO Global Services Inc. (AHGS), to develop its capabilities in helicopter engine testing, repair and overhaul, and in dynamic and hydraulic component rework. To read the whole news release follow this link.
Maybe they should just take this money and invest in some "new" helicopters instead of trying to keep a fleet of anchient over used seakings in the air. Oh thats right they did, after cancelling a contract costing the tax payers over $500,000 in 1993 and then putting out a new contract in 2004 which was another
waste of tax payers money and political interference from the liberal party.
Do not the manufacturers of helicopters already have the latest tech to provide proper maintenance and maintenance proceedures to these folks?
