Lockheed Martin's subsidiary, PZL Mielec, could ramp up production of the S-70 Black Hawk at its facility in southern Poland to meet the growing international demand for the medium-lift helicopter, a senior official said ahead of the Paris Air Show.

Speaking to Janes and other defence media earlier in June, Piotr Niedbała, business development and programmes director, said the company could potentially double production at Mielec from its current rate of 24 helicopters per year to meet demand, although this would require substantial effort.

“Right now, there is huge demand for the Black Hawk, and every customer wants their helicopters yesterday rather than tomorrow,” Niedbała said. “Doubling the production rate is possible, but it would require modifications of the line and approvals – it can be done, but it is not a simple thing,” he added.
