About Sikorsky Aircraft

Sikorsky Aircraft builds helicopters and uncrewed aircraft for military and commercial customers. It is part of the Rotary and Mission Systems business area of Lockheed Martin. The company says it has pioneered flight solutions since 1923. Its website is titled Engineering the Future of Vertical Lift.

The military range includes the BLACK HAWK UH-60M, a multi-mission helicopter, and the CH-53K, a heavy lift helicopter. It also builds the MH-60R SEAHAWK, a maritime helicopter, and the FIREHAWK, which the company says can fly in high winds, smoke and at night. The VH-92A Patriot is the Marine One helicopter that carries the President and Vice President.

Sikorsky also makes uncrewed aircraft. The U-Hawk is an uncrewed, fully autonomous version of the BLACK HAWK. The Nomad is a vertical take-off and landing uncrewed aircraft system. In October 2026, Sikorsky introduced the Nomad 100 Fast Pack, a 20-foot ISO container package with four Nomad 100 aircraft and mission equipment for expeditionary operations.

The company's capabilities fall into four areas: military aircraft and services, commercial aircraft and services, Sikorsky Innovations, and a Training Academy. The website also lists supplier information, Sikorsky customer awards and the Sikorsky Archives.

In September 2026, Sikorsky and the U.S. Army reached a production agreement for BLACK HAWK helicopters. Deliveries begin in 2028. The agreement lets the Army add aircraft as allied demand grows. The company's website also links to job openings in engineering, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing.
