PROVIDENCE – Textron Inc. will showcase a range of the company’s brands during their joint presence this week at the International Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Parc des Expositions, the company announced.
According to a press release, Textron will display a number of its businesses at the air show, which began Monday and ends Thursday: Bell Helicopter, Textron Aviation Inc., Textron Systems, Textron AirLand and TRU Simulation + Training.
“The Paris Air Show is one of the world’s great venues for aviation and defense solutions, and possibly the only forum large enough to present the diversity of our products,” Scott Donnelly, Textron’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “Textron is bringing several premier brands into one location. Whether your interest is in advanced rotorcraft, tactical turboprop and jet aircraft, precision weapons, unmanned aircraft, or simulation and training – this is the most comprehensive exhibit we have ever delivered to an international air show.”
Professionals will be available during the show daily to discuss aerospace and defense capabilities.
Here are some examples of what Textron is featuring at the show:

  • Bell Helicopter will exhibit the Bell Boeing V-22, what Textron called the most in-demand aircraft in the U.S. Marine Corps, logging over 275,000 flight hours in humanitarian aid campaigns, emergency evacuations and long-range logistical support.
  • Textron Aviation and its Beechcraft Defense Co. will showcase their defense and special missions capabilities with the Beechcraft AT-6, a multi-role, multi-mission aircraft system designed for the light attack mission, outfitted with highly-specialized, state-of-the-art equipment such as a Pratt and Whitney PT6A-68D engine
