Sikorsky Aircraft is preparing to launch series production of the S-92A+, the latest variant of its flagship large-cabin helicopter. The company revealed on Friday that the assembly line for the S-92A+ will be located in Owego, New York, at the Lockheed Martin Systems Integration facility. Sikorsky is a Lockheed subsidiary.

At least five S-92A+ helicopters are expected to roll off the production line this year, but the facility is capable of producing up to 12 aircraft per year, Leon Silva, Sikorsky’s v-p of global commercial and military systems, told reporters during a pre-Verticon briefing. The company anticipates deliveries of the first S-92A+ in 2028.
