Lockheed / Sikorsky
Reuters reports (4 Nov 2015) that Chinese regulatory approval has been received for Lockheed, United Technologies to close its acquisition of Sikorsky deal this week.
A good deal for Sikorsky employees / customers? Senator Chris Murphy (Connecticut, Democrat) thinks so. |
Well well I think Sikorsky are absolutely fantastic company. Just received an AOG driveshaft in 8 days no sorry 8 months after ordering. I really hope Lockheed know what they have bought:ugh:
|
I doubt that Lockheed bought Sikorsky for the Schweizer line! I hope they will sell the legacy Schweizer stuff to a small company, maybe Piper or something similar.

Oh jeez, don't tell Stinger... :ouch::E
(LockMart needed anti-trust approval from eight nations in which the two companies operate, including the USA, EU, Japan, RoK and China. Sikorsky's Chinese entity being Shanghai Sikorsky Aircraft Co.) I/C |
I only mentioned the China authorisation to see who would rise to the bait :ok:

Value
Just out of interest how much did Sikorsky buy Schweitzer for? What is it worth now?
I have thought for a while that if you put the certified Schweizer dynamics in a more aerodynamic fuselage you would have a great training/personal helicopter with good performance and a relatively low certification burden. Everyone loves the way the 300 flies, it's just too damn draggy. ...PPRuNe Copters Inc?... :E |

Not really the same is it different blades different engine designed as a 3 seat trainer for US mil contract to have 1 x instructor and 2 students on board. So 3 sets of controls hence wide cabin same as 480 ! Surprisingly 206 won ??? |

Air to air refueling? Looks more like an air data boom to me. That was the manned firescout prototype.
