Jeff Pino, Sikorsky Aircraft president, laid out what he called the four pillars for Sikorsky’s future at a Heli-Expo press conference here. These are, he said, growth, excellence in execution, defining X2 technology applications and globalization. He said Sikorsky’s $3.2 billion in total revenue last year set a record for the company. Total revenue in 2005 was $2.8 billion.

Given the projected strength in military, commercial and service-support markets, Pino said Sikorsky is on track to double its 2003 revenues, which were $2 billion, by next year. He said the company has 10 products in production today and six active development programs, compared with just three products in production in 2000.
