CAIG and Sikorsky seal copter agreement

China’s Changhe Aircraft Industrial Group and US-based Sikorsky Aircraft Corp signed a deal yesterday to co-produce S-76D commercial utility helicopters.

CAIG, a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corp of China, a state-owned aerospace and defense company, will supply S-76D parts and assemble the helicopters, according to the pact signed at the ongoing China Helicopter Exposition in Tianjin.

CAIG, which may deliver the first S-76D helicopter in 2016, will have an annual output capacity of 24 helicopters by 2018, under the deal.

The 12-seat S-76D, which has a maximum takeoff weight of 5.3 tons, is used for business, medical and rescue.

CAIG began operations with Sikorsky in 1995 to co-produce the S-92 helicopter.
