STRATFORD, Conn., Sept. 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force has contracted Sikorsky Aerospace Services for the company's refueling technologies.
Connecticut-based Sikorsky was awarded an approximately $2 million deal for 13 of its aerial refueling assemblies for installation on H-60 military helicopters.
Officials say the contract for Sikorsky's after-market fuel probe assemblies is part of an effort by the Air Force to lengthen the mission capabilities of its fleet of H-60 military helicopters.
"The refuel assemblies enable in-flight aircraft refueling, which increases the helicopters' range, saving valuable time and expanding the mission and role of the aircraft," George Mitchell, Sikorsky Aerospace Services' material logistics and spares director, said in a statement.
