Czech aircraft manufacturer AeroVodochody signed a contract for delivery of cockpits for Sikorsky S-70i Black Hawk helicopter during the recent ILA Berlin air show.

Aero will deliver no fewer than 50 cockpit structural assemblies to PZL Mielec through 2017. The S-70i cockpit structure Aero will make for Polish company PZL Mielec, subsidiary to American Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation consists of a single assembly that includes the nose section, the windshield canopy, and the platform where the two pilots sit.

Included with the assembly are electrical wiring and flight controls comprising the cyclic stick and the anti-torque pedals.

Since 2011, Aero produces cockpits for Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk, the most widely used helicopter of US army. The S-70i Black Hawk helicopter is designed specifically for the international military market. In fact, Aero already took a part on its production.

For the past two years, we have worked with PZL Mielec to produce cable harnesses for S-70i helicopters. Aero also supplies S-76 helicopters to Sikorsky already for twelve years.

The S-70i Black Hawk helicopter is designed by Sikorsky. PZL Mielec produces this type of helicopter since 2009.
