Sikorsky restarts S-92A+ production as it accelerates HEX, unmanned and autonomous demonstrators for 2026
Sikorsky has begun production of the updated S-92A+ heavy helicopter at its Stratford and Owego facilities, with the first batch bound for a head‑of‑state transport customer and further government and offshore sales expected. Simultaneously the firm is ground‑testing a HEX hybrid‑electric tiltwing powertrain and advancing autonomous Nomad 100 and unmanned U‑Hawk demonstrators targeting first flights in 2026.
