Sikorsky Aircraft – Delivering Leading-edge Flight Solutions Coupled with Safety and Innovation

Know More About Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation:

Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, founded in 1925 by Igor Sikorsky, is currently based in Stafford, Connecticut. It is currently a major aircraft manufacturer with subsidiaries Schweizer Aircraft and PZL Mielec. Its parent company is United Technologies Corporation. The company, originally named Sikorsky Manufacturing Company, eventually became part of United Aircraft and Transport Corporation in July of 1929, which is now United Technologies Corporation. Sikorsky specifically specialized in multi-engine landplanes and amphibious aircraft until the late 1930s, when decreased sales led the company to explore developing helicopters and rotorcraft. In 1942, they developed the Sikorsky R-4, which is the first single-rotor, fully controllable helicopter to enter production.

Today, Sikorsky Aircraft is still one of the leading manufacturers of helicopters, with popular models such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and SH-60 Seahawk, which are the staple for helicopters used by US government and military branches. It also produces experimental aircraft like the Sikorsky S-72 X-Wing.

Sikorsky has in fact provided the helicopter used by the President of the United States since 1957. In 2004, UTC acquired Schweizer Aircraft Corporation, now a subsidiary of Sikorsky. Sikorsky Global Helicopters was also created in February 2009, a division of Sikorsky that specializes in producing helicopters for commercial use. You will recognize all Sikorsky airplane and helicopter models by the S numbers, which is the way that Sikorsky designates all of its models.
