Sikorsky

Aviation Blade Services is the only repair station worldwide that is dedicated to the Sikorsky helicopter line of metal blades as well as the composite rotor blades found on the Blackhawk.  Our extensive resources and knowledge revolve around the S-55, S-58, S-61, S-62, H-3, H-60, Sea King, S-64 and CH-54 evolution of Sikorsky’s rotor blades.  We are the premier repair facility when it comes to experience, knowledge and support of these rotor blades.

We have an extensive library of manuals on Sikorsky rotor blades dating back to 1958 including the largest library of blueprints for the S-55, S-58, S-61 and S-64 rotor blades outside of Sikorsky.  We are also adding to our S-70/H-60 blueprint library continually.  This exclusive database can mean the difference between a salvage (repair) or scrapping of your blades.
