The success of the transport was a result of a large, coordinated effort, and the new airframe will be used in future emergency recovery systems testing. | F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office | Facebook

The CH-53K is essential to the Marine Corps mission – transporting troops, supplies and heavy equipment across a contested battlefield. Over the next five years, we’ll build and deliver up to 99 more helicopters to meet this critical need. This five-year contract will ensure consistent production of the United States’ most powerful heavy-lift helicopter, and reinforce the U.S. industrial base by sustaining thousands of production roles at Sikorsky and across our nationwide supply chain. | Sikors
