Sikorsky Aims To Deliver Three CH-53Ks Per Month, Israel Likely To Receive First Helicopters In Mid-2020’s

摘要

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. --Lockheed Martin’s [LMT] Sikorsky is aiming to reach a delivery rate of three CH-53K King Stallion heavy lift helicopters per month once the program reaches full-rate production, to include aircraft being built for international customers, according to a company official. “Right now, we’re probably in a delivery about every three months. When we get to full-rate production, we’ll be delivering two aircraft per month, or 24 a year. And then when we stack international [orders] on top of that, we’ll be building out the capacity in the factory to deliver three aircraft per month. That’s a capacity for 36 per year,” Bill Falk, Sikorsky’s program director for CH-53K, said during a briefing here at the Navy League’s SeaAirSpace Conference.
