ANAHEIM, CA -- Sikorsky Aerospace Services at Heli-Expo announce the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement with NAASCO Northeast Corp. for an improvement to the S-76 Helicopter Starter-Generators. Sikorsky Aerospace Services is the aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp.

The modification is available now to customers upon request.

"This distribution agreement is a fine example of the exceptional cooperation between the Sikorsky Cure engineering team and NAASCO, a sub-tier supplier, to improve a product and heighten customer satisfaction," says Samir Mehta, President, Helicopter Support Inc.
