CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (CPI Aero) announced that it has entered into a long term, follow-on contract with Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, to provide structural assemblies and kits for the S-92 helicopter program.
Under the terms of the agreement, CPI Aero will provide 15 different deliverable items including door assemblies, cover assemblies, and various installation kits used by Sikorsky to complete the final assembly of the S-92 helicopter. Each deliverable item has been manufactured by CPI Aero for the S-92 helicopter under a contract awarded in 2011.
“Having provided assemblies and kits for more than 140 S-92 aircraft since 2011, we are pleased to continue our business relationship with Sikorsky on this incredible aircraft into the next decade,” said Douglas J. McCrosson, president and CEO of CPI Aero. “This follow-on order underscores our ongoing sales focus on multi-year opportunities underpinned by exceptional program execution with a focus on quality, value and customer service. We take great pride in the cooperation and close business relationship we have established with Sikorsky over the years and look forward to our mutual success on the S-92 and other aircraft.”
Sikorsky has delivered more than 275 S-92 helicopters since 2004. These helicopters perform search-and-rescue missions, head of state missions, as well as a variety of transportation missions for offshore oil-and-gas crews, utility and airline passengers. The S-92 helicopter is the preferred aircraft of its size class for offshore oil transportation.
