The Romanian delegation visited the Bell company’s Advanced Vertical Lift Center, while minister Fifor and Bell CEO Mitch Snyder discussed about the collaboration opportunities focusing on the two helicopter models.

The AH-1Z Viper and the UH-1Y Venom have 85% common components. They both can serve in extreme weather conditions, from the Arctic zone to the dessert area.
