Briefing
McDermott's acquisition of the 214ST type certificate makes it the platform's OEM, shifting control of spares, parts approvals and future development — a direct change to aftermarket economics and operator support responsibilities.
Announcing a manufacturer programme at Verticon signals near-term commercialization (support, upgrades, potential production), which will interact with the rotorcraft aftermarket and STC activity, including recently approved STCs for Bell-type helicopters.
