Sikorsky Sends Chopper to India on Demonstration Tour: The visiting S-92 helicopter will highlight the aircraft's multiple defense and commercial uses

Sikorsky Aircraft has sent a helicopter and crew to Asia on an S-92 Legacy of Heroes demonstration tour, even as it reduced its workforce here in Stratford due to budget reductions from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Avionic Intelligence, an aerospace industry online newsletter, reported recently that the Sikorsky S-92 helicopter and six-man crew would visit five cities in India: Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Mumbai.

Cabins for the S-92 helicopter are manufactured in Hyderabad, according to the article.

The tour would highlight the aircraft’s use for search and rescue, transportation, coastal surveillance, emergency medical transport and VIP transportation.
