2. COMPANY PROFILE

Basic information Company ID No.: 27174841 VAT registration No.: CZ27174841 Date of entry into the companies’ register: 16th September 2004 Number of employees as of June 2009: 524 Primary sphere of business: design, development, production, sales and maintenance of aircraft and aviation products

Brief history of the company In 2005 Aircraft Industries, a. s., acquired Letecké závody, a. s., the successor of LET, a. s. The company is the largest civil aircraft manufacturer in Czech Republic and has produced over 7,000 aircraft of various types and categories since 1936. After its establishment, practically all aircraft types flown in Czechoslovakia were sent to this plant for repairs. In the early 50s, construction of a new plant (the existing plant premises) was begun for the transfer of production of the Soviet design, YAK 11 trainer (produced under license as C 11). The production series stopped at 710 aircraft. Later, a modernized version of the AERO Ae 45/145 production followed with over 370 units produced. In 1957, company designed its own first general aviation category aircraft, the L 200 Morava of which over 360 have been produced. Production of the Z 37 “Bumble Bee” crop spraying aircraft started in 1961 and ended with more than 700 units produced in 1984. The plant produced over 1,700 units of the L 29 “Dolphin” jet trainers as well. In 1969, the L 410 commuter aircraft made its maiden flight. Just the various modifications and versions of the L 410 alone represent over 1,100 aircraft produced and delivered by LET.

18

The L 610, 40-seat regional commuter aircraft was developed and tested during the 90s. The project was then suspended. LET also produced small aircraft like Zlin Z 22 Junak as well as gliders like Z 124 Galanka, LF 109 Pionyr, Z 425 Sohaj. The most successful glider is the L 13 Blanik, exported to 43 countries around the world. Over 2,600 Blanik gliders have been produced. The allmetal, two-seat L 23 Super Blanik has been produced since 1988, and the all-metal singleseat L 33 Solo glider since 1991.

2. COMPANY PROFILE Honeywell Aerospace Olomouc s.r.o. was founded in 2000 calling Mora Aerospace, a.s. as a result of separating the aerospace division from the mother corporation Mora Moravia known for assembling stoves. There was legal entity transformation and company changed its name from Mora Aerospace, a.s. to Honeywell Aerospace Olomouc s.r.o. in July 2008. Beginnings of the highly specialized production – aviation production date back to 1951, when it has been a cooperator for the final producer company called Motorlets Praha – Jinonice by delivering hot–resistant and sheet metal parts for turbojet engines. The decision to produce these parts at Moravia in Marianske Udoli was made because this company had a lot of experience with sheet metal processing. In the fifties there was a production of parts for turbo jet engines M 05, later for M 05 FA for jets MiG 15 a MiG 17, M 06 for bomber jets IL 28, since 1961 on for M 701 – first by pass turbo jet engine of cz construction for training planes Aero L-39 Albatros turboprop engine M 601 for small commercial airplanes L 410 (year 1971), turbo starter Saphir for training planes Aero L-39 „Albatros“ and finally in the eighties technologically sophisticated engines M-602 a DV-2. The cooperation between the division of the aviation production and the American company Garret Aerospace (later Allied Signal, today’s Honeywell) producing airplane engines dates back to 1991. It was necessary to meet the strict American criteria, especially aligning the work organization according to the requirements set by quality guide matched to the world aviation directives. On January 1st, 2000, the aviation division separated and a new company Mora Aerospace was founded, employing 259 people. Two years later the Repair and Overhaul was established, which performs general component repairs of air plane engines.

48

Since February 5th, 2002 Honeywell, as one of the world leading companies, is the owner of Honeywell Aerospace Olomouc, which became a part of the division Engines Systems&Services.

Jiří Gerle – General Director, Tel.:+420 380 331 505 e-mail: gerle.jiri@jihostroj.cz

2. COMPANY PROFILE Jihostroj, a.s. was founded in 1919 as a plant for the manufacture of precise electric and mechanical engineering products in the South Bohemian town of Velešín where the company’s headquarters is currently located. The company soon reached an above-average standard and in 1936 introduced the production of instruments and components for the aeronautical industry and after 1950 introduced the production of hydraulics and other components for the automotive industry. These domains have been creating the main business program of the company up to the present time. It thus enables us to use the experience from the previous years from the field of design, production and operation. Jihostroj gradually became one of the principle centres of mechanical engineering production in South Bohemia with a good reputation from the long-term point of view. The facilities are equipped with the crucial manufacturing technologies for machining, heat treatment and surface treatment of parts (including paint spray shop for aerospace components), assembly and testing of products, including Non-Destructive Testing equipment, production of tools, fixtures, gages and moulds. Jihostroj has its own strong research and development department for both the aerospace division and for industrial hydraulics division. Own research and developments programs are constantly considered as a necessary primary condition for new business programs development success. In 1992, the firm has been privatised in the form of a joint-stock company. It is owned by individual shareholders and institutional investors. Since 1994, the two main production programs were concentrated into separate manufacturing divisions: Industrial Hydraulics Division and Aerospace Division. Number of employees: 670 (2008) Annual sales: EURO 24.4 mio.

62

The core company businesses are the aerospace equipment and industrial hydraulics. The production program of the company is complemented by other activities, such as heat and surface treatment, production of instruments and gauges, tools and made-to-print production. The high demands and standards required for aeronautical production, high level of development and technology are also applicable to the production of hydraulics and other products. Jihostroj, a. s. is thus presenting itself as a partner able to meet the onerous technical requirements of its business partners. This is also justified by its wide range of customers. They are both traditional and new Czech and Slovak companies from the aeronautical, automotive, tractor and similar branches of the industry. In the recent years, our export share is rapidly growing, as the number of customers from Germany, USA, Italy, Austria, Hungary, U.K., France, South Korea and other countries increases, and exports to the whole industrial world plays a major role in company business dynamics. Quality and environmental system meets ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14 000 and EASA Part 21 and EASA Part 145 standards, AS 9100 and it is audited on a regularly basis by certification bodies, Civil Aviation Authority / EASA, military supervisory organizations, as well as major customers. Selected special processes are being prepared for NADCAP accreditation.

3. COOPERATION POSSIBILITIES Airframe Fuel and Hydraulic Systems Components and Accessories In 1936, Jihostroj introduced the aeronautical production specifically focused on the production of minor airframe and engine instruments. These products were destined for aeroplanes or engines of AVIA, LETOV, AERO, ZLÍN, WALTER and others and also for foreign customers. The main items of current production are:

closing and by-pass cocks fuel filters float valves repumping ejectors single-way and multi-way valves safety valves de-aerating valves and safety valves fast discharge valves filling nozzles and plugs sludge valves drainage pumps booster pumps, including brushless DC electric motor one-stage and two-stage flow servo valves

63

two-stage pressure servo valves solenoids for fuel and hydraulic systems EMV-operated hydraulic distributors integrated main hydraulic unit

Propeller Control Systems Jihostroj became one of the manufacturers of propeller control systems in 1975 when the production of the propeller governor for the Avia V-508 propeller began. The governor is hydro-mechanical and is mounted together with the Avia propellers onto the M-601 turboprop engine. Since that year more than 7,000 of these governors in several versions including the version for the V-510 propeller have been manufactured. Subsequent development was the propeller control system Avia V-518 for WALTER's M602 turboprop. In 1998, Jihostroj introduced a new model line of advanced lightweight hydro-mechanical propeller governors. At the present time, our governors are flying in many types of airplanes, seaplanes or airships. Jihostroj produced more than 8 000 propeller governors in more than 10 main types (hydro-mechanical as well as electronic; for single acting as well as for double acting propellers; for turboprop as well as for piston engines; for reversible and non-reversible propellers – totally in almost 100 different models). Jihostroj is now involved as a propeller control system supplier in several current big General Aviation development projects, including single-lever control systems.

Engine, APU and GPU Fuel Systems One of main programs of aeronautical production in Jihostroj, a. s. is fuel control system of aircraft turbine engines. This programme can be characterised by the following products:

Jihostroj started licensed production of fuel control systems for the M-05 engines and two years later additionally for the M-06 engines destined for the MiG-15 fighter.

Based on the experience with the fuel control system for the MiG-15, Jihostroj developed and started to produce a fuel control system for the M-701 engine destined for the L29 Dolphin trainer. Up to now more than 12,000 of these fuel control units have been manufactured.

Jihostroj introduced the production of instruments for fuel control and oil system of auxiliary power unit SAPHIR for the L39.

Jihostroj introduced the production of the fuel control system of the turboprop engine M 601. It is a hydro-mechanical system with electronic of limit parameters. Again, the fuel regulator and the fuel pump were developed by Jihostroj. The system is still being produced and the number of sets manufactured today is more than 7,000.

64

Based on the experience with the system for the M-602 engine Jihostroj elaborated the first study of the modem fuel control system with the full authority of electronics (FADEC) for the DV-2 engine family.

Jihostroj a.s. recently developed the advanced fuel control unit applicable for APUs and smaller turbine engine, using the technology of signle stage servovalve.

The fuel metering pump using a brushless DC motor with electronic control is under development, potential applications are APU, GPU and smaller turbine engines.

Airframe Hydraulic Systems In the frame of new light attack aircraft program, Aero L-159, Jihostroj entered the field of airframe hydraulic systems. Based upon experiences with servo valves of its own design and manufacturing, Jihostroj developed and certified antiskid control unit and nose wheel steering unit for this military aircraft. Within the scope of development of new Czech twin turboprop utility aircraft, Jihostroj is developing the main hydraulic unit and EMV-operated distributors for hydraulic system.

Research and Development Activities Jihostroj puts strong emphasis on research and development activities. Currently, more than 10 different development programs are performed, with concrete deliverables, used in new business programs. R&TD Department of aerospace division has qualified and experienced staff, and it is equipped with all necessary tools for performing design works, analysis, computing, laboratory testing etc. Jihostroj has the high volume programs of the collaboration with world’s leading aerospace companies. The collaboration is focused on design and development of the fuel and hydraulic instruments of the aircraft systems according the customer specifications and production and delivery complete aerospace products per customer documentation. Jihostroj is also participating on integrated research projects within the EU Framework Programs, such as CESAR (Cost Effective Small Aircraft).

Joint projects with strategic aerospace partners Jihostroj is very active in joint projects with some leading customers in the field of aeronautical engines, motion control systems etc., and is running full-scale product development according to customer’s specification up to the stage of complete product (e.g. main fuel pumps) certification.

History of the company: Letov is the oldest aircraft manufacturer in the Czech Republic. Company was founded in 1918 by the Czechoslovak Defence Ministry to repair the aircraft of the Czechoslovak Air Force obtained after the WW I. In 1921 Letov produced the first Czech designed aircraft Letov Š1, designed by Alois Šmolík. During 20th and 30th Letov designed and produced over 50 types of aircraft of all categories. During WW II the company was occupied by German Army and served as a repair shop for the aircraft of the German Luftwaffe. On the beginning of fifties Letov started the licence production of the wing and empennage of the Soviet jet fighter MiG-15. The final assembly was made at the newly founded company Aero Vodochody. After MiG-15 the production of wings and empennages for MiG-19 and MiG-21 followed. In sixties Letov started together with Aero Vodochody the development and production of wings and empennages for the new Czech jet trainer L-29 Delfin. Over 4000 aircraft of this type was built and Delfin is the most spread aircraft in his category. Delfins serve until today in many air forces of the world (Czech Rep., Russia, Malaysia, Egypt etc.).

71

The successor of Delfin was in 70th the L-39 Albatros. The wing and empennage were again developed and built at Letov. Over 2500 aircraft was produced until now. After political changes in the Czechoslovakia and the former eastern block Letov started successful collaboration with the German aerospace industry and since 1991 Letov has been delivering parts and subassemblies for the Airbus aircraft. During 1997 substantial restructuring of the Letov Company was performed. From the former Aircraft Product Division the daughter company LETOV LETECKÁ VÝROBA, a.s, was established. The new company is responsible for the production of parts and subassemblies for the Airbus aircraft and for the new Czech combat aircraft L159 ALCA. Since June 2000 LETOV LETECKÁ VÝROBA became a daughter company of the French aircraft manufacturer LATECOERE, from Toulouse (www.latecoere.fr). Since 2000 LETOV LETECKÁ VÝROBA has been increasing production for the Airbus, Embraer, Dassault and Boeing aircraft.

CONTACTS Address: SPEEL PRAHA, Ltd., Beranových 130, 199 05 Praha 9 – Letňany, Czech Republic Tel.: +420 286 923 619, +420 286 923 633 Fax: +420 286 923 721 E-mail: info@speel.cz Internet: http://www.speel.cz Contact persons: Dr. Jiří Vidiečan, Managing Director Mr. Larbi Ouchelouche, Project Manager, phone ext. 106

2. COMPANY PROFILE SPEEL PRAHA, Ltd., a small sized company led by Dr. Jiří Vidiečan, Managing Director, was established in August 1993 as a successor of Automation and Aircraft Diagnostics Division, which was a part of Aeronautical Research and Test Institute, Prague, Czech Republic. SPEEL designs and manufactures solid-state memory based flight recorders and aircraft monitoring systems for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. In July 2000 SPEEL received ISO 9001 certification from KEMA, a Netherlands based international Quality Certification Company, for the design and manufacture of avionics systems, including solid state crash-protected flight data recorders, aircraft monitoring systems and ground support equipment. SPEEL’s ISO 9001 certification was a natural extension of SPEEL’s already strict quality processes as the company is dedicated to providing high-quality products to the aviation and the automotive industry. SPEEL also holds the following aviation certificates:

Approval Certificate from the Czech MoD in compliance with the Czech Military Aviation regulations for the production of military aviation equipment.

CAA/EASA Certificate for the development and production of avionics equipment for the civil aviation.

SPEEL invested more than 30 years of avionics and aircraft diagnostics experience in its product line, which includes:

Flight Data & Cockpit Voice Recorders: SPEEL offers a full range of FDRs with crash-protected solid-state memory for the various versions of L39/L59 aircraft, and also as a modern substitution of Russian

116

recorders ZBN 1/BUR 1, SARPP-12DM/GM/IM, and TESTER. SPEEL’s FDRs meet MIL-STD-810C/461C requirements and TSO C51a crash protection requirements.

Cockpit Voice and Flight data Recorder – CVFDR: SPEEL's CVFDR, is a solid-state combined cockpit voice and flight data recorder that can be easily configured for use as a voice recorder only, data recorder only, or both. The recorder feature improved recording technology and capabilities over SPEEL's previous recorders. It has been designed to meet the harshest environments as dictated by TSO-C124a/TSO-C123a, and it can fit both military and civil aircraft.

Crash-survivable Airborne data Recorder – CARE CARE is Speel's latest generation crash-protected solid-state memory flight recorder, which complies with ED-56A crash survivability requirements. CARE unit communicates with other systems on board the aircraft (e.g. acquisition unit) via an Ethernet link or RS-422. The utilization of the Ethernet technology along with a legacy file system within the memory unit of the recorder allows the user access the memory content of the recorder through legacy protocols (e.g. FTP, Internet protocols), via CARE’s Ethernet link both onboard or on the ground(Data downloading/uploading). Its small size and weight make CARE an attractive solution for platforms where space and weight reduction is a must (military aircraft, UAV applications, etc.).

Complete Recording solution for F-7 and C-130 aircraft: Based on the latest generation of SPEEL's recording systems, many aircraft such as the F-7P fighter jet and the C-130 heavy transport aircraft can now benefit from a comprehensive, efficient and reliable data monitoring and recording thanks to SPEEL's CARE flight recorder when used ingeniously in conjunction with SPEEL’s a Data Concentrator Unit (COAD) and a compact Flight Data Acquisition Unit (FDAU-F7) built specifically to address installation in a tight space on the aircraft. The utilization of Ethernet technology to connect the above systems together allows high-speed data transfers and faster voice and flight data downloading on the ground equipment (PANDA software). The FDAU-F7 acquires many input signals from aircraft systems through originally installed sensors as well as through the use of sensors (Accelerometers, position sensors, Air data unit, etc…) supplied by SPEEL.

Aircraft Monitoring Systems:

AirMiS for L159B: SPEEL’s Airborne Mission Server system (AIRMIS) design is based on an open-system architecture approach. The system’s standard avionics interfaces allows it to be installed on various modern platforms on which there is a need to combine all data sources (data buses, audio/video, mission planning data, etc…) into a single recording unit. AirMiS’s removable mass memory cartridge is an ideal recording medium that provides readily available flight information for grounds crews to perform a complete mission de-briefing and analysis.

117

AMOS for L159A/B: SPEEL’s Aircraft Monitoring System (AMOS) has been built for the new Czech combat aircraft L159. AMOS (comprising a Flight Data Acquisition Unit and a Crash Memory Unit) interfaces with Boeing's avionics onboard the L159 via MIL-STD-1553B data bus. AMOS complies with MIL-STD-810E/461D and TSO-C124a requirements.

Air Data Computer: Speel’s ADC159 is an RVSM capable device which measure pressure inputs from a pitot-static probe and copmutes pressure altitude and airspeed thanks to the use of high-accuracy, high-reliability pressure transducers designed specifically for Aerospace apps. It is currently installed on the L-159B. The unit is ARINC-706-4 compliant.

Engine Load Monitoring System: ELM 601 device has been designed to monitor the operation load of the Walter M601 turboprop engine. The whole system, designed into a compact instrument, allows for automatic data collection, recording and indication of service load parameters of the M601 engine.

Acceleration Monitoring Unit: SPEEL’s Acceleration Monitoring Unit AMU1.01 is an electronic device, installed in the centre of gravity of an aircraft, which records to its internal solid-state memory aircraft's vertical acceleration value, which exceeded predefined positive or negative limits of vertical acceleration as well as the time when the event occurred. This allows the user to gain more accurate information on fatigue life design and life usage monitoring of the aircraft.

Other aircraft recording equipment: The above listed products are just few examples of SPEEL’s product line. Other systems such as a synchro-to-ARINC429 data converter and various types of Flight data acquisition units are manufactured by Speel to complement SPEEL’s existing airborne systems and to accommodate various aircraft types. More information on these additional products can be found on our website at www.speel.cz.

Ground Evaluation Equipment: SPEEL’s Ground Evaluation Equipment (GEE) including a workstation and a software package (PANDA) is supplied for recorded flight data evaluation and FDR testing by maintenance ground crews.

Electronic Tachographs: Besides works in avionics SPEEL designs, and produces Solid-state memory based Electronic Tachographs for subway and railway vehicles.

3. COOPERATION CAPABILITIES

Upgrade Programs: With its long experience and extensive knowledge of Russian technology, SPEEL is the right company to co-operate with when it comes to modernisation programs, where tape-based flight data recorders are to be replaced with solid-state ones.

Fitting an aircraft with a modern FDR/CVR: SPEEL uses up-to-date technology in its products, which are built to meet demanding western standards. As such, they can easily interface with western avionics on board a modern aircraft. SPEEL offers a great flexibility in designed a tailored FDR/CVR to fulfil customer’s needs.

Seamless Integration of FDRs into SPEEL’s Ground Support Equipment: SPEEL has great capabilities in terms of software development. Our software department uses the most advanced tools to build and update its software used in the Ground Support Equipment (GEE). The design philosophy lying behind SPEEL’s GEE is such that the software is developed in such a manner as to allow for the use of a unique software package for various types of flight data recorders. In fact PANDA software, whose design is based on a modular architecture, allows for the integration of virtually any type of Flight Data Recorder. Currently, PANDA is being used by the Czech Air Force (CAF) at all its airports for flight data downloading and evaluation. Should the CAF acquire a new fighter aircraft, the integration of the new FDR into PANDA will be straightforward, thus allowing the CAF to keep using the same software throughout its airports. No hustle and no extra training required. From the logistics support point of view, such a solution would be highly beneficial for the CAF, which seeks upgrade solutions that get them up and running quickly and with minimum alteration of the existing infrastructure.

LOOKING AHEAD: SPEEL’s dynamic research team keeps on seeking news approaches and ideas to either improve the capabilities or expand SPEEL’s product line. For instance, SPEEL has just accomplished the design of an Acceleration Monitoring Device. Now, Based on NTSB/FAA recommendations for future FDR/CVR regulations, SPEEL has set two milestones for the design of:

A Remote data recording system monitoring (downlink) of aircraft systems in real-time.

a wireless link between SPEEL's recorders and the Ground Evaluation Equipment a crash protected solid-state video recorder compliant to ED-112 specifications.

This is an area where SPEEL’s expertise in providing solid-state recording solutions can contribute a great deal.

2. COMPANY PROFILE WOLFSBERG Letecká továrna, s .r. o is a company with Letov (abb. LEtecká TOVárna = Aircraft Factory) background and a history of aircraft construction since 1918. The company was founded in 1999 by Wolfsberg Aircraft Corp. NV, Belgium – 100 % owner – as a plant for development and manufacture of small multirole aircraft. Number of employees: 25 Turnover 2008: [CZK] 45,000,000

3. MAIN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The first project and eventually a product for WOLFSBERG Letecká továrna s.r.o. in Prague is the CORVUS 1Faircraft. This is a twin engine high wing aircraft that although not startling and of mainly light alloy riveted construction, is designed for the modern world. As a passenger version (CORVUS 1P), passengers literally have elbow room. As a cargo version (CORVUS 1F) is made for high volume low density cargo, pre-palleted. Ease of loading is the reason for the twin booms and high set tailplane. Although modest in cruising speed and with a short range, it also has important short take-off and landing distances. The side braced undercarriage is particularly suited to out-of-wind strips. The CORVUS aircraft meets CS-23 and FAR-23 certification specification; it means we are going to obtain EASA, resp. FAA Type Certification.
