Sikorsky to Test Trio of Next-Gen Autonomous Aircraft in 2026 Aviation News – Sikorsky is accelerating its push into next-generation flight by developing three distinct technology demonstrators, including a hybrid-electric tiltwing and autonomous systems, with initial flight testing slated to begin in 2026. Lockheed Martin’s Sikorsky division is leveraging decades of rotorcraft expertise to bridge the gap between traditional vertical lift and future unmanned capabilities. The development slate includes a hybrid-electric tiltwing (HEX) aircraft, the Nomad 100 rotor-blown-wing, and a specialized unmanned variant of the legendary Black Hawk known as the U-Hawk.
