"Through the manufacturing technology center, we can showcase how we will deliver the most affordable, capable and reliable aircraft for the warfighter," said Mitch Snyder, president and CEO, Bell. "As we work together to define the next generation of Bell products, it’s been gratifying to watch this new facility become a reality."
The MTC is a proving ground where Bell plans to test and refine technologies and processes and demonstrate readiness and ability to successfully build and support future vertical lift aircraft. It offers a digitally connected space for collaboration between Bell teams. New systems will be tested and vetted for production suitability before being introduced to Bell’s factories. Bell broke ground on the facility August 2020 and anticipates the facility to be fully operational later this year.
