Agusta SW4 - really?
That would be a huge error... PZL - Agusta Westland
I didn't know the either.
Since 29 th of January 2010 AgustaWestland company is the major shareholder of PZL-Świdnik S.A.

How much of the aircraft is made by Agusta anyway.
You will be surprised who actually builds the frame parts for most helicopters.
WSK "PZL-Świdnik"
and
WSK PZL-Mielec

..... And just to clarify, PZL effectively means Polish Ltd company. Swidnik is one company and Mielec is another. I got the feeling they were being confused into one.
Both have a real capability and produce some very good stuff for both Sikorsky and AW respectively.

PZL means or meant Polish Aviation Factory.
There was another one. The fact that the Polish Armed Forces will have in the years to come to change most of its helicopters. Big bucks. Ditto for Sikorsky and Mielec factory.
Knowing that fact, one has to be an idiot to sell the only helicopter manufacturer of the country.

Before end of 2009. final transaction AW orders (109 & 139 airframes) to SW was on 40% level of total SW turnover ... good reason
