S76C

The S-76C is a foundational medium-sized commercial helicopter, designed and produced by Sikorsky. This twin-engine rotorcraft is widely utilized globally for executive transport, search and rescue, and offshore oil support operations. The S-76 family, which includes the C variant, is recognized for its reliability and performance.

Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the manufacturer, was established by aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky in 1923. The company has a long and storied history, pioneering the development of helicopters. Sikorsky produced the first successful American helicopter, the R-4, in the 1940s and has since become an indispensable name in both military and commercial vertical flight. The S-76 program, launched in the mid-1970s as a commercial helicopter, demonstrates the manufacturer’s continuing commitment to advanced rotorcraft design.
