US-based Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Tata Advanced Systems to manufacture S-92 helicopter cabins in India.

Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, and Tata Advanced Systems is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Industries.

"India represents an expansive rotorcraft market with enormous potential and opportunity," said Jeffrey P. Pino, president, Sikorsky. "While we are only in the most preliminary stage, I am excited at the possibility of working with the well-known and admired Tata Group, and tapping into India ’s skilled aerospace industry and capability."

Tata Industries believes that this manufacturing facility for the S-92 helicopter cabin will offer productivity gains to Sikorsky while bringing new manufacturing technology to India.
