Sikorsky Aircraft has selected Goodrich Corporation to provide rescue hoist systems for the H-92 Canadian Maritime Helicopter Project. The aircraft will be used by the Canadian government for anti-submarine patrol, surveillance duties and utility roles such as search and rescue, cargo and personnel transport.  The rescue hoist systems, offered as optional equipment by Sikorsky for the S-92, include Category One externally-mounted single and dual, AC electric rescue hoists and support structures.

Goodrich's hoist and winch team produces both traditional level wind and industry-unique translating drum cable management systems. Because the mission capabilities of the design concepts are so unique, Goodrich distinguishes between the technologies by category distinctions - translating drum as Category One and the traditional level wind as Category Two. Goodrich is the only manufacturer of the Category One technology in the world.

“We are proud to work with Sikorsky to supply our rescue hoists for use on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Project,” said Pablo Ocasio, Business Development Director, Goodrich Sensors and Integrated Systems. “This award further serves to enhance our relationship with Sikorsky and ensures that helicopter operators around the world are working with the safest, most reliable technology available,” he added.

Goodrich Sensors and Integrated Systems provides a broad range of systems to the aerospace industry worldwide including SmartProbe™ air data systems, Electronic Flight Bag systems, security and surveillance systems, fuel measurement and management systems, health and usage management systems, ice detection and protection systems and rescue hoists and cargo winches.
