The development of S76 Spirit
began in 1975, the first of four prototypes flew in 1977.
The goal was to create a civil aircraft for offshore, ambulance and passenger
transport service. The first version in mass production was "A", later versions
"B", "C" has improved engines and avionics.
Having concentrated almost exclusively on military aircraft thus far, Sikorsky
announced plans in January 1975 for a twin-turbine helicopter for the civil
market. The company had carefully evaulated the needs of potential customers
and, after having examined various solutions, had already acquired a number of
options. Building of the four prototypes began in May 1976 (the designation S-76
was chosen to mark the American bicentennial). The project clearly showed the
experience gained with the S-70 combat helicopter. The second prototype was the
first to fly, on 13 March 1977, complete with IFR avionics. From the outset, the
aircraft was equipped for all-weather operation, as one of its main roles was
intended to be the servicing of offshore oil rigs. The four-blade rotor of this
aircraft is exactly like that of the S-70. The blades are built around a strong
titanium spar; the leading edge is also titanium, while the trailing edge has a
fiberglass and nylon honeycomb structure. The rotor hub is made according to the
latest techniques to minimize maintenance: the normal bearings have in fact been
replaced by elastomeric ones needing no lubrication, and special dampers
virtually eliminate vibration. The powerplant is installed above the fuselage
behind the drive shaft and consists of two 650shp Allison 250-C30 turbines.
