Under the contract, the Stratford, Conn.-based company’s aerospace services division will provide Presidential Airways Inc. with head-up displays that allow pilots to see flight instruments and other helicopter information through an eyepiece in their helmet without having to look down at the instrument panel. The system can be used during day and night operations.
The display systems will be distributed by Helicopter Support Inc., a Sikorsky Aerospace Services company. Sikorsky Aerospace Services is the aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
