Our broad range of technology projects is aimed at enhancing such critical areas as external awareness, pilot performance, vehicle awareness, flight efficiencies, process efficiencies, and overall lifecycle costs. Below are just some of the innovations that Sikorsky is pursuing right now.

Pushing forward
Sikorsky continues to advance vertical flight technology with the development of the X2 TECHNOLOGY™ Demonstrator. This exciting, leading-edge advancement includes a number of state-of-the-art technologies that enable a new generation of aircraft to fly at high speed, while retaining all the desirable flying qualities of a helicopter without any in-flight configuration transition...

Game-changing
Imagine a next-generation attack helicopter platform so advanced that it can reach speeds more than 220 knots, flying as high as 10,000 feet in 95° of heat. The Sikorsky S-97™ Raider™ helicopter is poised to realize this vision and to revolutionize next-generation military aviation...

All-electric technology
The Firefly™ is an all-electric technology demonstration aircraft from Sikorsky Innovations. With Firefly™, Sikorsky plans to demonstrate and quantify the benefits of an electrically powered helicopter...

Increasing flight operations
Sikorsky Aircraft is currently in development of an Optionally Piloted BLACK HAWK (OPBH) in collaboration with the US Army AMRDEC. Sikorsky appreciates the value in providing the pilot capability to become a mission coordinator. The ability for the pilot to leave the cockpit for potentially dull and dangerous missions significantly reduces crew limitations and increases BLACK HAWK flight operations...
