Aurora earns Sikorsky Gold


Lockheed Martin’s Sikorsky honored suppliers, including 15 with its 2016 Sikorsky Gold Suppliers’ best-in-class performances that included Aurora Flight Sciences of Columbus, Miss., at a ceremony in south Florida. Twenty-two total suppliers were recognized. Two north Alabama firms were named program suppliers of the year: TFAB Manufacturing of Madison, for its Black Hawk program; and MACRO-Industries of Huntsville, for its Combat Rescue Helicopter program. Aurora Flight Sciences was first awarded Supplier Gold in October 2015. In addition to the sonobuoy launcher for the MH-60R helicopter, AFS manufactures the Upper Clamshell and Lower Air Stair door for the S-92 helicopter and the slider door for the search-and-rescue configured variant of the S-92.
