Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, announced on November 6, 2024, the site selection for the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) fuselage assembly. The operations will be established in Wichita, Kansas, at an existing facility located at Beech Field on Textron Aviation's East Campus.
This decision is a key step as Bell prepares for the next stage of FLRAA's Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase. Bell plans to begin operations at the facility in the next several months, deepening its relationship with the state of Kansas and the city of Wichita.
Supporting work for the FLRAA fuselage will also take place at Bell's advanced manufacturing facilities in Texas, including the Advanced Composite Center in Fort Worth, with final aircraft assembly occurring in Amarillo. This investment aims to deliver exceptional performance at an affordable cost for the U.S. Army's new long-range assault aircraft.
