Lockheed Martin Buying Sikorsky for $9B in Cash
United Technologies had been publicly shopping Sikorsky since at least February, and the Lockheed-Sikorsky deal had been telegraphed for weeks.
Lockheed Martin inked an agreement to buy helicopter maker Sikorsky Aircraft from United Technologies. A company spokesman told AIN that "we intend to keep the entire Sikorsky business—military and commercial." Sikorsky civil programs include the S-76D, S-92 (shown here) and former Schweizer helicopters. (Photo: Sikorsky)
