US aircraft maker Textron eyes India's defence space



         American aircraft and rotorcraft maker Textron, known for its Bell range of helicopters, is looking to broaden its India footprint by entering the lucrative defence space, which could see an investment of $100 billion over the next decade on military hardware. 
        
          According to Connor, rotorcraft that fits the needs of Indian military, state governments and paramilitary forces are the new Bell 407 armed version and Bell 429 twin-engine. "Bell-525, currently under development, is a potential product for the military and state government needs it later." Bell helicopters are mostly used for civil and commercial flying purposes in the country.
