'''Sikorsky Aircraft''' is an American [[aircraft manufacturer]] based in [[Stratford, Connecticut]]. It was established by the Russian aviation pioneer [[Igor Sikorsky]] in 1923, and was among the first companies to manufacture [[helicopter]]s for civilian and military use.
==History==
On March 5, 1923, the '''Sikorsky Aero Engineering Corporation''' was founded near [[Roosevelt Field (airport)|Roosevelt Field]], New York, by [[Igor Sikorsky]], an immigrant to the United States who was born in [[Kyiv]], Ukraine (then part of the [[Russian Empire]]).<!-- Note it was in the [[Russian Empire]] at the time. Please do not add either Russian- or Ukrainian- here — this dispute is not worth an edit war, and is better handled in Igor's bio article, not here. --><ref name="Sik_history">{{cite web |url=http://www.sikorsky.com/vgn-ext-templating-SIK/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid%3D2dd9e39d40a78110VgnVCM1000001382000aRCRD |title= About Sikorsky |access-date=June 5, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090702104052/http://www.sikorsky.com/vgn-ext-templating-SIK/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2dd9e39d40a78110VgnVCM1000001382000aRCRD |archive-date=July 2, 2009}}</ref><ref name=winged>{{cite book |last=Sikorsky |first=Igor |title=The Story of the Winged-S |year=1944 |publisher=Dodd, Mead & Company |location=New York |isbn=9781258163556 |pages=160}}</ref> In 1925, the company name was changed to '''Sikorsky Manufacturing Company'''.<ref name=wing>{{cite book |last=Sikorsky |first=Igor |title=The Story of the Winged-S |year=1944 |publisher=Dodd, Mead & Company |location=New York |isbn=9781258163556 |page=185}}</ref> After the success of the [[Sikorsky S-38|S-38]], the company was reorganized as the '''Sikorsky Aviation Corporation''' with capital of $5,000,000, allowing the purchase of land and the building of a modern aircraft factory in Stratford.
