Setting a new standard for executive transport

Expectations. Performance. Leadership. The Elements of Your Success.

As a leader, you expect exceptional performance from yourself, from your associates and from the tools and equipment that drive all that you do. These are the same elements of success Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation has embraced in developing the S-76D executive helicopter. Above all, the focus is on performance from the company that pioneered and perfected the modern helicopter. For more than three decades, corporate executives and heads of state have recognized the S-76 series as the standard of excellence for personal transportation. The S-76 series, with more than 5.0 million flight hours of time tested value in rotor wing transportation, is the solid foundation of the new S-76D helicopter. The S-76D helicopter brings together the advanced technology, comfort and safety you have come to expect from Sikorsky. It also embraces the highest level of proven helicopter reliability in todays marketplace: the ultimate combination of productivity and performance.

Comfort and Convenience

The large, comfortable and quiet cabin has been refined to meet the exacting needs of the Fortune 500 business traveler. It can be configured to meet your personal requirements, as an extension of your office to add to your productivity. The S-76 helicopters strengths include low internal acoustic levels and a smooth ride. Sikorskys active vibration control and Quiet Zone transmission technology assures that your flight is extraordinarily smooth and whisper quiet. The acoustically enhanced environment of the cabin allows you to conduct business conversations or just relax and enjoy the flight. Sikorsky can schedule a demonstration flight at your convenience, allowing you to personally experience the smoothest and quietest executive helicopter for yourself. While the S-76D helicopter is quiet inside, your neighbors will also appreciate that its quieter outside as well. In this version, Sikorsky introduces a cutting edge technology quiet tail rotor, improved main rotor blades and an innovative rotor system that will alter its rotor speed in flight for reduced external noise. The combined effect of these technologies results in a helicopter that meets the most stringent proposed noise standards.

Effective executive transport

Comfort and luxury arent enough. Your executive transportation must get you to your destination reliably and with the tools to do business in flight. Customized satellite telephones, flight progress displays, entertainment systems and refreshment cabinets will keep you connected and fit for business when you arrive (on time) at your destination. Because arriving on time, every time, is important, Sikorsky has designed the S-76D helicopter to be able to fly in all weather. Optional de-iced main and tail rotor blades will allow the S-76D helicopter to get you there safely and reliably when other helicopters must sit on the ground and wait.

Powerful, Reliable, Safe

The superior performance of the S-76D helicopter is the culmination of more than 30 years of technology advancement for the aircraft. The result is a combination of attributes that will keep the S-76D helicopter best-in-class. The S-76D helicopter benefits from a new Pratt and Whitney Canada engine. The PW210S twin turbines provide increased horsepower without increasing fuel consumption. The additional horsepower translates into improved take-off and landing performance. The S-76D helicopter will perform Cat A takeoffs at gross weight on hot, humid days. All of this with the ensured reliability, ease of maintenance and the support of the worlds leading engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney. These advancements in engine technology also give the aircraft extended endurance of up to three hours. The result is a helicopter with excellent powerto-weight ratio and best in class fuel burn. The PW210S engines low fuel consumption contribute to lower carbon emissions. The engines incorporate dual channel Full Authority Digital Electronic Controls (FADEC) with state-ofthe-art diagnostic capability. New all composite main and tail rotor blades incorporate Sikorskys optional Rotor Ice Protection System (RIPS) that enhance aircraft safety when launching into known icing conditions, a key benefit for dispatch reliability. The aircrafts main rotor hub is a derivative of the rotor hub on UH-60 BLACK HAWK helicopters, a system that has flown successfully for millions of hours in every imaginable flight environment.

Modern Cockpit Technology

The S-76D helicopter features state-of-the-art cockpit technology from Thales that is equal in sophistication with your corporate jet and todays modern airliners. In fact the S-76D helicopter is the only aircraft to offer the THALES TopDeck avionics suite specifically designed for helicopters. Easy to read, large-format liquid crystal displays have been consolidated in an efficiently designed console for improved visibility and field of view. Other features such as innovative trackballs for cursor control on the display units, customer defined custom checklist uploads and built in emergency procedures promote ease of use. An optional digital map with integrated Jeppesen approach plates is also available. The avionics suite enables additional situational awareness for the pilots, reducing workload and enhancing safety. Proven in other aircraft installations, the sophisticated Thales TopDeck avionics package includes a four-axis, fully coupled autopilot to reduce workload and provide additional margins of safety. This technology allows for single or dual pilot Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations, a feature critical to safe operations in changing weather conditions. The Thales solution is a mature application designed for the helicopter. It is proven and reliable and fully supported through Sikorsky Aerospace Services.

Safety You Expect From Sikorsky

After more than 5.0 million hours in flight, the S-76 helicopter has an outstanding and enviable record for safety and reliability. The S-76D executive helicopter builds on that legacy with leading-edge safety features, including redundant systems for flight controls, avionics, cockpit displays and a health monitoring system that captures and records operational data. Now Sikorsky partners with Flightscape to provide an OEM supported Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring (HFDM) solution. HFDM can replay flight operations and supports JAROPS 3 compliance. Coordinated though Sikorskys Fleet Management Operations Center, this solution combines solid support systems, based on longstanding and proven maintenance programs, with state-of-the-art capabilities that are unique to the industry. An Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) is standard on the S-76D executive helicopter. A combined Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) are also standard. Safe, reliable flight in all weather situations Because your need to travel can be anytime and in any conditions, the S-76D executive helicopter is designed and equipped for safe, reliable flight in all weather situations. Fly with peace of mind in any environment and over all terrain. In addition to protection against main and tail rotor icing, the S-76D aircraft is protected against lightning strikes and sensitive avionics are shielded to protect against electromagnetic interference.
