Sikorsky Aircraft is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
Through this advanced design tool, the program expects to realize cost savings and greater efficiency that can minimize delays in final assembly of the aircraft.
“The virtual reality tool allows the team to find production and maintenance issues that typically only could be found during the initial build of the aircraft,” said Dr. Michael Torok, Sikorsky vice president and chief engineer for Marine Corps programs. “With this tool, we can identify these potential problems in time to avoid them. Ultimately, this will save time and money.”
