Italian rotorcraft maker AgustaWestland hopes to acquire control of
the BA609 civil tiltrotor programme it shares with Bell Helicopter, in
order to speed up the aircraft's certification and delivery to market.

Chief executive Giuseppe Orsi says negotiations are ongoing and adds
that AgustaWestland's parent, the Italian industrial giant
Finmeccanica, "has authorised us to conclude negotiations within
certain conditions to reach this important achievement".
