STRATFORD, Conn., - Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. has delivered the 100th MH-60S SEAHAWK® helicopter to the U.S. Navy. Sikorsky Aircraft, based in Stratford, Conn., is a business unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).
"This delivery marks another key milestone in the U.S. Navy's plan to procure more than 250 MH-60S aircraft," said Sikorsky President Jeffrey Pino. "Sikorsky is proud to continue to deliver this proven aircraft - a true workhorse - to the U.S. Navy."
Since initial fleet deliveries in 2001, the MH-60S has accrued more than 150,000 flight hours with deployments around the world including service in Iraq. The MH-60S is a multi-mission platform used by the U.S. Navy for logistics, troop transport, organic airborne mine countermeasures, and Armed Helicopter missions, and it is one of the key elements in the U.S. Navy Helicopter Master Plan to go from seven different platforms to two, the Sikorsky MH-60S and MH-60R SEAHAWK helicopters.
