When wondering why International acceptance is taking so long, bear in mind that the JS1 was the first aircraft of any kind to go into serial manufacture in South Africa.
M+D is the European partner, and applying for EASA certification.

Both developed from Aerospatiale Puma, but heavily modified and definitely made in South Africa.


OK you got me on military manufacturing. Should have been GA aircraft.
There are likely some microlights too.
Have either helicopter received CAA certification? How long did it take?
