Lockheed martin might be a better fit

Sikorsky's new owners would be a better bet , there is a long history of collaboration between the 2 companies. When I was there in late 70's i would say 100% of my time was booked to MOD contracts ( Mainly R and D ). Westland has never been able to support itself without major government cash injections. I am sure even with newer owners the cash will still keep flowing or they will go the way of Bristol , Fairey and Saunders Roe.
