Chinese company to build Sikorsky ‘copter cabins

Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of Hartford’s United Technologies Corp., said a Chinese company will build cabins for its S-76D helicopters.

Changhe Aircraft Industries will be a second source of cabins for the helicopter, which is Sikorsky’s newest model. Aerodochody, based in the Czech Republic, also supplies the cabins.

Changhe previously built cabins for the S-76D’s predecessor, the S-76C++. Changhe is a subsidiary of AVIC, a shareholder in Shanghai Sikorsky, a civil aerospace joint venture company.
