Sikorsky S-76 Commercial Helicopter Family

The Sikorsky S-76 is a twin-engine commercial helicopter family created for offshore transport and executive travel rather than as a derivative of a military airframe. Its streamlined cabin, retractable landing gear, and evolving rotor, engine, and avionics systems supported later variants used for business transport, scheduled passenger service, offshore utility work, search and rescue, and aeromedical operations around the world.
