In early 2020, the U.S. Navy selected the Leonardo TH-73A, an advanced Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) rated version of the commercial AW119Kx, to replace its aging fleet of TH-57B/C Sea Rangers as the primary training helicopter for the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and selected allied nations. The TH-73A Advanced Helicopter Training System marks a significant modernization in Navy helicopter training technology, shifting from analog to digital avionics and projected to serve the U.S. Navy through 2050 and beyond. The helicopter, powered by a robust Pratt & Whitney PT-6 engine and featuring dual safety and hydraulic systems, excels in every maneuver within the Navy s training program. As of mid-August, over 317 Student Naval Aviators (SNAs) are currently in the TH-73A training curriculum, with a projected peak of 66% when the second of three squadrons complete the transition. The program also benefits from the expertise of 133 Training Air Wing (TW) 5 instructor pilots and eight contract maintenance provider Functional Check Pilots. Over 200 SNAs have completed the TH-73A syllabus and been winged Naval Aviators to date. Leonardo, an international industrial group, is a partner on significant international programs in Aerospace, Defence, and Security (AD&S) sectors. The company recorded new orders for €17.9 billion in 2023, with an order book of €39.5 billion and consolidated revenues of €15.3 billion. Leonardo is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange (LDO) and included in the MIB ESG index. Contact: Investor Relations - T: +39 0632473512 - E: ir[.]leonardo.com.
