UTC si accingerebbe a 'scaricare' Sikorsky .....

"Non abbastanza redditizia" ..... questa il motivo che potrebbe, in un prossimo futuro, portare il colosso industriale 'United Technologies' a separarsi da 'Sikorsky' ..... la principale azienda elicotteristica degli Stati Uniti .....

The future is "bright for Sikorsky," says the CEO of the rotorcraft maker’s parent company, United Technologies Corp. (UTC) – but it is not bright enough to keep it inside UTC.

Questa mi pare la ragione piu' importante. Che abbiano un bisogno impellente di liquidita' a buon mercato (UTC intendo)???

In un editoriale non firmato ..... AW&ST fa il punto sulla situazione di Sikorsky .....

The Pentagon’s leading rotorcraft supplier certainly is in better shape than it was a decade ago, when as a somewhat dysfunctional operation it lost a contract to build a new fleet of presidential helicopters.
Now, with a backlog valued at $49 billion, the company has more business lined up than any other military helicopter manufacturer.
The big CH-53K is the Pentagon’s largest rotorcraft program, at almost $25 billion, and last year Sikorsky won both the $8 billion U.S. Air Force Combat Rescue Helicopter pact and a re-scoped presidential rotorcraft contract worth $3.2 billion.
