About Schweizer Aircraft
Schweizer Aircraft was founded in 1939 by a trio of brothers Paul, William, and Ernest Schwweizer. The company originally offered gliders such as the SGP 1-1, which were eventually adopted as trainers for the United States Army Air Corps. In the 1950s, Schweizer diversified into producing powered aircraft such as the G-164 Ag Cat, and in 1986, acquired the rights to Hughes helicopter designs through a deal with McDonnell Douglas. Schweizer helicopters would later go on to become some of the most popular training helicopters in the world. In 2004, Schweizer Aircraft was acquired by Sikorsky Aircraft corporation. At this time, Sikorsky became a much more diversified aerospace company. In 2012, United Technology Corporation, the parent company of Sikorsky, made the decision to shut down the production of new Schweizer aircraft.
