Air Industries Group, a leading manufacturer of precision assemblies and components for large aerospace and defense prime contractors, has received orders, from two customers, aggregating $8.2 million, for UH-60 Black Hawk and H-92 Super Hawk helicopter components.
“These contract awards provide tangible evidence of growing demand for critical military aircraft parts and our prominent role in supporting vital military aircraft programs," says Lou Melluzzo, CEO of Air Industries. "While the H-92 is a relatively new and welcome addition to our portfolio, we have been a supplier of flight critical assemblies for the Black Hawk for over four decades, and we are dedicated to continuing this commitment.”
Deliveries for these components are expected to begin in 2025.
Air Industries supports the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter platform by providing flight critical components, such as the primary flight control assembly and the main transmission beam. Serving as the primary helicopter for the U.S. Army, the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter fulfills essential roles in transport, troop movement, medical evacuation, and cargo lift operations. Manufactured by Sikorsky, it includes many variants and is utilized by other branches of the U.S. military and U.S. allied countries.
The H-92 is a multi-mission, military derivative of the S-92 commercial helicopter, making it a larger alternative to the UH-60 Black Hawk. It's used by Canada for its Maritime Helicopter Program.
