FARNBOROUGH, England, July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- FARNBOROUGH AIR SHOW --
Derco Aerospace, Inc., a unit of Sikorsky Aerospace Services, and AIROD
signed an agreement today to establish a C-130 propeller shop at AIROD's
facility in Subang, Malaysia. As the prime contractor for the program,
Derco, in conjunction with Hamilton Sundstrand, the original equipment
manufacturer, will provide all spares, tooling, technical data, and
training needed for the propeller shop. Sikorsky Aerospace Services is a
division of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. Both Sikorsky Aircraft and Hamilton
Sundstrand are United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) companies.
"Due to the size of the propeller, the logistics associated with
trans-oceanic shipments have always presented challenges for the user
community," said Doug Haskins, Derco's Director of Technical Solutions. "By
establishing a propeller shop at a respected and technically capable
maintenance facility with which both Derco and the end users have
long-standing relationships, we can immediately improve propeller overhaul
turn-around times."
