The panel includes leading rotorcraft users
Sikorsky's future product line up
Sikorsky has created an advisory group of industry experts to help shape its future product portfolio.

With an eye toward the future of vertical lift, Sikorsky has launched an advisory group consisting of leading helicopter operators who will work closely with the rotorcraft manufacturer to define and establish real-world requirements for the integration of next-generation technologies. Intended to give those operators a forum to provide feedback, they will share operational challenges and help shape the airframer’s future product lineup.

The initial group includes Bristow executive v-p and chief transformation officer Dave Stepanek; Flexjet Vertical Lift president Eli Flint; HeliOffshore CEO Tim Rolfe; Macquarie Rotorcraft Leasing COO Greg Allen; Omni Helicopters International group CEO Jeremy Akel; Shell Aircraft manager of air transport safety Mark Boumans; and VIH Aviation Group president and CEO Ken Norie.
