Sikorsky S-76 in line for yet further improvements
At 11:30 a.m.

At 11:30 a.m. today, representatives of Sikorsky Aircraft will reveal a series of future product improvements for the S-76 series during an event at the OEM’s booth (No. 3069).

The product improvements include all-composite main rotor blades with de-icing capability, new avionics and engine options. Also being unveiled here at the show is a new S-76C++ VIP interior designed by Heritage Aviation that offers an updated five-person seating arrangement and an improved soundproofing system. Combined with Sikorsky’s new QuietZone transmission in the main gearbox, which will be included on all S-76 corporate/VIP deliveries this year, the reduction in cabin noise is expected to “provide new standards in passenger comfort.”
