Sikorsky Aircraft

Sikorsky Aircraft is an American aircraft manufacturer based in Stratford, Connecticut, established in 1923 by the Russian-American aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky. It was among the first companies to build helicopters for civilian and military use, and it also produced seaplanes for passenger transport and surface vehicles such as trains and boats. Its helicopters, among them the UH-60 Black Hawk, the CH-53 Sea Stallion and the S-76, have served in armed forces and civil fleets around the world. Sikorsky was owned by United Technologies Corporation until November 2015, when it was sold to Lockheed Martin.
