Will Provide And Maintain 28 Helos
Sikorsky Aircraft says it has signed contracts worth C$5-billion
with the Government of Canada to provide and maintain 28 Sikorsky
H-92 maritime helicopters. The new H-92s will replace Sea King
aircraft currently in service with the Canadian Forces and
deliveries are scheduled to begin in late 2008.
Canada's new H-92 Cyclones will be multi-mission capable and
will perform surface surveillance and control, subsurface
surveillance and control, and utility operations that include
search and rescue, passenger and cargo transfer, medical
evacuations and tactical transport in support of national, North
American and international security.
"Sikorsky has been a part of Canada's history for more than 50
years, and we are proud to continue this legacy," said Sikorsky
President Steve Finger. "The specifications for Canada's new
maritime helicopter were rightfully among the most demanding in the
world. There is no better aircraft to fulfill these missions than
the H-92."
Sikorsky says the H-92 provides unprecedented levels of safety
and reliability. It is the only rotorcraft in the world certified
to the latest and most demanding North American and European safety
regulations, which exceed military specifications in many
areas.
The H-92 builds on the heritage of five million hours of
military operating experience accumulated by Sikorsky's SUPER
STALLION, SEAHAWK and BLACK HAWK aircraft, and the Sikorsky SEA
KING that has served the Canadian Forces for more than four
decades.
