Israel to provide F-15 fighter components

Israel's Globes reported on Oct. 23 that Elbit systems is also a leading contractor in a Boeing-led consortium in a $2 billion project to build security fences along the United States border with Mexico.

The $19 million Elbit contract is for its subsidiary, Cyclone Aviation Products Ltd., to manufacture structural components for F-15s.

The outsourced components include detachable fuel tanks, pylons, horizontal stabilizers and gun access doors.

The new components under terms of the contract are due to be delivered by 2008-2009.

Elbit Systems co-general manager for its Airborne and Helmet Systems, Yoram Shmuely, said, "This contract win reflects the trust and recognition we have established among major aviation manufacturers such as Boeing. We believe this contract will pave the way for further business in this fast-growing market characterized by advanced technologies and innovative composite materials."
