Forum 65 — Deep in
the Heart of Texas!
Gaylord Texan Resort and
Convention Center
May 27 – 29, 2009
Exhibiting at Forum 65 will introduce your company to a region critically important
to the vertical lift and the helicopter manufacturing industry. The state of Texas accounts for more than 200 aerospace
firms and nearly 47,000 aerospace professionals dedicated to the design and manufacturing of aircraft, missiles or space
vehicles, engines and propulsion technology, and auxiliary equipment or parts.
Major aerospace companies operating in Texas include Bell Helicopter, The Boeing Company, American Eurocopter, Sikorsky Aircraft, Lockheed Martin, L-3 Communications, BAE Systems, BellAgusta and Turbomeca, as well as the industrial base which supports these companies. Key VTOL programs with substantial design, manufacturing and systems integration activities based in Texas include the V-22 Osprey, the NAVAIR H-1 (USMC AH-1Z, UY-1Y) program, the Joint Strike Fighter, the BA 609 tiltrotor, the AB129 medium lift transport, and the Eagle Eye unmanned aerial vehicle. In addition, American Eurocopter performs key assembly and support of its US-based civil helicopter fleet in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Forum 65 is the longest running and most established rotorcraft event in the industry. Unlike other trade shows, the AHS Forum provides access to an elite technical community responsible for directing the engineering and manufacturing processes of the global rotorcraft industry. Exhibitors will interface with top program decision-makers on the show floor during unopposed exhibit hall viewing hours as well as at exhibit hall luncheons, receptions and industry-wide sessions such as the US Army and US Navy / Marine Corps military program manger briefings.
Who will attend Forum 65?
Forum 65 offers face-to-face contact with decision-makers from all facets of the
vertical flight industry. US Government Agencies attending Forum 65 include:
- Department of Defense
- Department of Transportation
- Federal Aviation Administration

In addition, top ranking officers from the military source selection committees of the US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps,
US Air Force, US Coast Guard and Canadian and international counterparts will seek out your company's capabilities and
expertise for training and operation needs as well as products and services that will increase their readiness and
effectiveness.
