The Helwan Aircraft Company Ltd. is an Egyptian aircraft manufacturer based in Helwan, Egypt. The company is responsible for the production of many military and civilian aircraft.

The Helwan company was established in April 2021 after the incorporation of the 2018 Economic Act. Originally, it was founded as the Egyptian General Aero Organisation, which closed in 1975 after the failure to expand the Egyptian aerospace industry. Fourty years later, the governments of France and UAF came to an agreement to produce the Dassault Rafale fighter under licence. In response, the Helwan Aircraft Company Ltd. was founded in the old headquarters of the EGAO operation in order to take over the production contract for the Rafale to supply the UAF Air Force. A new plant was also constructed in the industrial center of Khartoum while the original factory at Helwan, near Cairo, was modernized to supplement the production of the new jet.
