Helicopters
CPC v2.1 Code: 49621
About helicopters
cpc code 49621 covers the production and maintenance of helicopters, a vital mode of air transportation. Helicopters play a crucial role in various industries, including emergency services, military operations, tourism, and transportation of goods and personnel to remote or inaccessible areas. As a highly specialized and technologically advanced industry, the helicopter manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to the broader aviation and aerospace economy.
Production process
The production of helicopters involves a complex and meticulous process. Key steps include the fabrication of the airframe, the assembly of the rotor system, the installation of the engine and transmission, and the integration of avionics and other electronic systems. Manufacturers utilize advanced materials, such as composites and lightweight alloys, to ensure the helicopters are durable, efficient, and capable of meeting the demands of their intended applications.
Production inputs
The helicopter manufacturing industry relies on a range of specialized inputs, including high-strength metals, composite materials, advanced electronics, and precision-engineered components. Manufacturers also require specialized machinery and tooling, as well as a highly skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and assembly workers to ensure the quality and safety of the final product.
Production outputs
Helicopters produced under cpc code 49621 are primarily used for 49622 Passenger air transport, 49623 Freight air transport, and 84211 Defence activities. Additionally, helicopters may be utilized for emergency medical services, search and rescue operations, and various commercial and industrial applications, such as 77351 Rental and leasing of air transport equipment.
