Saudi Arabia to make helicopters and release them in the market in 3 years

[Mosamania]

This is an Old article and I only wished to put this thread next year in its unveiling but I thought I should calm the Anti-Saudi storm in the forum going on lately so here goes. (this article was written in 2009):

"Science and technology" and "KACST(Short term for King Abdulaziz City of Science and Technology)" signs 5 MoU with German companies for manufacturing of Advanced technologies.
Saudi Arabia have shown yesterday its commitment of developing and manufacturing of helicopters to be made locally and that is after signing a number of MoU with German companies. And the government of Saudi Arabia is working through KACST of making a mixed engineering team of German and Saudi engineers to work in the head quarters of KACST un Riyadh for Designing developing and manufacturing of Helicopters after KACST signed the MoU with the MK German company. And Dr.Turki bin Saud the Vice-President of KACST that the Helicopters will be made locally and it will be at first of the Civil type which can carry from 3 to 6 passengers at the begging of the development citing that he foresees it hitting the market around 3 years from now.

And Dr.Turki says that demand on these Helicopters will be high since it will be made in commercial numbers and will be in global Market Standards saying that stage one of the MoU with the German company has the developing and manufacturing of that type of Helicopters.

And KACST have signed yesterday 5 MoU which has as a goal making the cooperation of Technological and manufacturing between KACST with German research companies.

And Dr.Turki have signed the MoU on part of KACST with Roland Kauch The Prime Minister of Hissen State of German and Engineer Mohammed Mathi of SABIC which holds percentage of one of the German Companies and the first paper saw the signing of the manufacturing of the Helicopters.

The second MoU was signed between KACST anf MK Helicopters and SGL one of the biggest companies of Carbon Fiber with emphases on NANO technology involving flight in general not only on Helicopters and the KACST engineering team will be fully involved in all aspects of the Helicopter making with their MK helicopters company counter parts and they will work with them simultaneously in both the Manufacturing locations in Germany and in Riyadh with making of Identical manufacturing areas as of that in Germany. to support the Advanced project which will transfer All the technology and know how to Saudi Arabia and the making of highly trained Saudi hands.And at the same time takes the Saudi Advanced technologies to the Global market.

Also Science and Technology Company also signed the third MoU with IAVGMPH for cooperation in the research of Advanced german cars and developing it in the Kingdom through a joint program with the two sides for making of Advanced Global technologies to serve long term goals for this emerging Company and also in developing the Saudi Universities and Academic and research centers.

And The joint Goal of the programs that have been planned is to develop a highly creative concept in Saudi Academic Society that with the usage of the latest manufacturing technologies available and in development and in particular Nano technology and Plastics to reduce the weight of the Cars while achieving the highest standards of Safety. And according to KACST it is following a clear strategy for encouraging excellence in the Sciences to push the technological matrix of Saudi Arabia forward with a wide range of technologies manufactured locally and in particular Engineering of propellants (Engines and such) and Individual movement and Environmentally friendly products.

And IAVGMPH is considered one of the world leaders in Engineering of Vehicles and is compromised of 4000 workers world wide. Also KASCT have signed a MoU with the German Kassil University for co-research and education of Nano Optic fibers jointly, including the entirely new super small systems which can be used very efficiently in a number of Industrial fields.

And those fields include Nano Cameras and micro mirror matrix for gathering of sun light for energy and also Nano optics in the health fields for monitoring the outside health of individuals without having to take blood samples.

And in the Fifth MoU Science and Technology signed with the German National research center and Frankfurt University for Advanced Studying and John Folgang Ghute University in the Cooperation in the technology of Ion processing and it includes the exchange of Scientists and Specialists and Scientific Cadre between the two universities for joint research and training and also making double scientific seminars on problems that are affecting both countries Scientifically and looking for solutions for them and Also on how to Elevate the co-operation and Technological ways.

And the MoU also included that KACST will be a founding member of in the "Fire" establishment which will be in Mustaddet in Germany in the research of Ion reaction with Protons and also in the cooperation in a strong way with the experimental research of the Establishment

Saudi Arabia should sell Syria some will Improve Relations .

I am sure if ever the this assembly plant is built, the engineers working in it are going to be Pakistanis. Good try.

Lets not rush to conclusion.

I agree. Without Saudis tens of thousands of Pakistanis engineers will be jobless. It is good that they hire them.

It's good,but Bad for the Saudi's because SA has a high unemployment alot of Young educated people don't have jobs and the Foreign Workers isn't helping.

Mostly companies like to pay less for foreign workers since they agree in lesser wages than Saudis since Saudi Arabia is more expensive. That is why there is a lot of foreign workers not because Saudis are fat or lazy that is just a myth. The moment Nitaqat kicked in now you can find Saudis working everywhere. It is a bit harsh on Companies and in Workers living in the Kingdom but that is the only way to solve some hundreds of thousands of college graduates without jobs.

Double post.

By the way since this program started we already saw its fruits being the Car Gazal-1

See this thread for more details http://www.defence.pk/forums/general-images-multimedia/124813-gazal-1-first-saudi-made-car.html

Double post....again...PDF's got the Hickups again lol.

I second that. It would be beneficial for the Saudis if they hire their own engineers for the job, but it would be good to see Pakistani engineers participating and learning there as this will be beneficial to our own indigenous industry, we can gain valuable experience and technical know-how on how to build helis.

They won't be Pakistani engineers since we don't have experience in this field.

 

[Mosamania]

Remember everyone when I used to say we are on the right track for self sufficiency...This is what I meant. And there is much much more than this. but I am waiting for the right time to Post their threads.

you remind me of raptor, the only difference is that you keep bashing Arabs while he keeps bashing Turks.
