Czech group to make Black Hawk cabins

Czech aerospace manufacturer Aero Vodochody has agreed to a seven-year deal to supply cockpits to Sikorsky Aircraft, maker of the Black Hawk helicopter, Reuters reported Thursday.

Unlisted Aero Vodochody announced the deal but did not disclose the value of the contract, which runs until 2017 with the option of a five-year extension, Reuters said.

The Sikorsky deal was one of three new contracts worth a total 4 billion crowns ($213 million) for Aero Vodochody.

Sikorsky Aircraft won two U.S. military helicopter contracts worth a total of $1.52 billion in January.
