Under New Ownership, Sikorsky Looks to the Future

Making its debut as a Lockheed Martin company at this year’s Heli-Expo, Sikorsky is looking to re-energize its business, as it aims to leverage the newfound synergies realized in its recent merger. “We at Lockheed Martin have been looking at how do we grow in this really complicated world,” said Sikorsky Aircraft president Dan Schultz, who is attending his first commercial helicopter show. He was tapped to lead the company after the completion of the rotorcraft manufacturer’s purchase last November. “We are 100 percent committed to the commercial helicopter market.”
