Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. officially opened the new HAWK WORKS(TM) completion center on the west side of Elmira/Corning Regional Airport. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp.

The 100,000-square-foot building will serve as the primary completion center for all BLACK HAWK and Naval Hawk(TM) derivative aircraft for the U.S. government and foreign military customers. BLACK HAWK derivative helicopters requiring customized configurations for a range of specialized missions will be manufactured at Sikorsky’s Connecticut facilities and then
transported to the HAWK WORKS center for completion. The new center also adds capacity for additional future military work.

About 100 new employees will staff the HAWK WORKS center, which is located approximately one quarter-mile from Schweizer’s current facility. Schweizer Aircraft is the subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.
