Ducommun reachs new heights
Ducommun Inc., the Carson-based aerospace subcontractor, said it won a contract worth about $60 million to make titanium erosion shields for main rotor blades of the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
The company's Gardena-based Ducommun AeroStructures subsidiary will do the work, which is expected to last through 2012.
The contract was awarded by GKN Aerospace, which manufactures the sheath assembly for the helicopter's main rotor blades.
