STRATFORD, Connecticut – Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. today announced the delivery of
the 300th UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter to the U.S. Army. Sikorsky is a United
Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company.

“The war-fighter has provided outstanding reviews of the UH-60M BLACK
HAWK helicopter’s performance in theater,” said Lt. Col. Heyward Wright, Product
Manager, representing Col. Thomas Todd of the U.S. Army’s Utility Helicopters
Project Office. “In my estimation, the UH-60M aircraft sets the standard for a
successful utility platform in a combat environment.”

Sikorsky began delivering UH-60M aircraft to the U.S. Army in 2006. With a
new airframe, avionics and propulsion system, the aircraft is the most modern in
a series of BLACK HAWK variants that Sikorsky has been delivering to the Army
since 1978. Sikorsky Aircraft also has delivered UH-60M aircraft to other U.S.
federal government agencies, and to international customers.

“The UH-60M platform brings the most up-to-date technology to the war-fighter
to keep our troops safe for their diverse missions,” said John Palumbo, Sikorsky
Vice President, Army Programs. “We continue to receive very positive feedback
from the U.S. Army because the UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter provides reduced
pilot workload, increased lift, better protection and enhanced survivability. It
is a proven, reliable combat aircraft.”

Sikorsky is expected to deliver more than 950 UH-60M aircraft to the U.S.
Army by 2025. Additionally, the Army plans to buy more than 400 HH-60M MEDEVAC
aircraft used to extract wounded troops from the battlefield. Exact procurement
numbers year-to-year and across the life of the program will be determined by
budget authorizations and specific contract awards.

Sikorsky continues to improve the aircraft via the UH-60M Modernization
program. This includes a fly-by-wire flight control system and FADEC-equipped
GE-701 engine.

BLACK HAWK helicopters of all variants flown by the U.S. Army in the Iraq and
Afghanistan theaters of war have accumulated more than one million fleet flight
hours without a single Class A material failure. The combined operational sortie
rate in both theaters stands at 85 percent. The U.S. Army’s total BLACK HAWK
helicopter fleet exceeds 1,945 aircraft.

More than 3,000 BLACK HAWK helicopters of all variants are in use today,
operating in 30 countries. Designed to stringent U.S. military standards, the
BLACK HAWK helicopter has become the leader in multi-mission type aircraft.
Among the mission configurations it serves are troop transport, medical
evacuation, electronic warfare, attack, assault support and special
operations.
