Sikorsky has launched a technology development organization called Sikorsky Innovations, whose mission is to develop and mature technologies, products and processes. Sikorsky Innovations, a “virtual organization,” will strive to shorten execution timelines and reduce costs, the U.S. helicopter manufacturer announced this week.
Among those technologies are several that the company says will “redefine the future” of vertical flight, including high-speed flight, optionally piloted aircraft (including a possible UAV version of the BlackHawk) and brownout operations. In addition, Sikorsky Innovations will pursue development of rapid-prototyping tools, advanced manufacturing automation, virtual reality simulation and high-performance computing.
