>Washington, Oct. 13, 2025 — From concept to reality in 10 months, Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company (NYSE: LMT), has transformed a UH-60L Black Hawk® helicopter into the S-70UAS™ U-Hawk™, a versatile autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that has 25% more cargo space than a typical Black Hawk. Sikorsky replaced the cockpit section with actuated clamshell doors and ramp, and swapped conventional flight controls with a third-generation, low-cost, fly-by-wire system integrated with MATRIX™ autonomy technology.

Sounds pretty interesting. It's kind of not-so-surprising but also surprising what people here do/did for their day jobs. Seems like Smart people don't like to be told what to do or say.

There were plenty of morons among my coworkers. I've said before, I've met the people who build airplanes. I don't fly.
