Schweizer 269D Model 333 wil become Sikorsky S-333

[Jack]

Sikorsky Aircraft announced at Heli-Expo’09 the creation of Sikorsky Global Helicopters, a new business unit made up of the manufacturer’s commercial products, including the S-76, S-92 and H-92 platforms, as well as the Schweizer helicopter line. As part of the rebranding of the commercial products, the S-300c, S-300CBi, S-333 and S-434 helicopters will no longer retain the Schweizer name. However the Schweizer name will disappear, Schweizer will still exist as a subsidiary and all non-rotor-wing products will retain the Schweizer name, including the test facility in Elmira, NY. Keystone’s engine and helicopter services and Sikorsky’s Associated Aircraft Group (AAG) charter and fractional services will also fall under the umbrella of Sikorsky Global Helicopters.

So this Schweizer 269D Model 333 is now actualy a Sikorsky S-333

Het wordt even wennen maar Schweizer helicopter verdwijnt als produkt naam. Schweizer is nu onderdeel van Sikorsky Global Helicopters. De Modellen die nu in produktie zijn worden onder de naam Sikorsky op de markt gezet. Dit geldt dus voor de Schweizer S-300c, S-300CBi, S-333 en S-434. Dit worden dus der Sikorsky S-300c, S-300CBi, S-333 en S-434.

Jack,

I do not think that the helicopters that have already been build will be renamed. The re-branding will start now, with the helicopters still to be build and/or delivered.

As you know, the initial production run for the Hughes 269C has never been called Schweizer 300C.

That is correct....the mentioned Schweizer 333 is still a Schweizer 333 and not a Sikorsky S-333.
The Schweizer 333s on the productionline will be Sikorsky S-333s when finished.
