The company said the initial contract together with the recent grant of an export licence paved the way for finalising a long term agreement with Lockheed expected to generate revenues of $75 to $100 million over five years.
Quickstep expects to begin delivery of the wing flaps in the first quarter of 2014. The company also makes parts for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
