This multi-purpose most high-equipped and safest in the
world "Sikorsky S-92" Helicopter
has Custom Made Luxury Interior for 9
passengers + attendant, Crew:
2. The Sikorsky S-92 is a four-bladed twin-engine
medium-lift long-range (1000 km.) off-shore helicopter built by Sikorsky
Aircraft for the civil and military helicopter market. The S-92 was
developed from the Sikorsky S-70 helicopter and has similar parts such as
flight control and rotor systems. The S-92 is multi-purpose helicopter
powered by Twin "GE CT7-8A" turboshaft engines and has an aluminum
airframe and some composite components. The four-bladed fully articulated
composite main rotor blade is wider and has a longer radius than the
Sikorsky S-70. The tapered blade tip sweeps back and angles downward to
reduce noise and increase lift. Most of the rotor system components aside
from the blades are titanium. Tethered hover flight has recorded 31,000 lb
of lift generated, both in and out of ground effect.
The S-92 also features an active vibration control system with vibration
sensors and structurally mounted force generators. The system provides for
comfortable flight and acoustic levels below certification requirements.
This system also prolongs airframe life by reducing fatigue loads on the
aircraft. The new-generation S-92 is a uniquely economical helicopter. With
80% fewer maintenance tasks than other helicopters and structures and
systems designed for on-condition maintenance, the S-92 has significantly
lower maintenance costs than competing helicopters. Ideal for congested or
remote airports, the S-92’s built-in work platforms
mean minimal ground support equipment for excellent maintainability. Available
satellite phones allow global communications anytime, anywhere.
The main rotor and tail rotor blades as well as most important
components have unlimited life ! The S-92 has
only one component
requiring scheduled
overhaul, and only
two components with
a retirement life of
less than ten years or 12,000 hours.
A number of eminently safety features such as flaw tolerance,
bird strike capability, engine burst containment, autorotation (windmilling)
once engines are in "power off" regime have been incorporated
into the design. Adherence to FAA FAR part 29 has led the FAA and EASA
certification board to call the S-92 the "safest helicopter
in the world". The S-92 meet the FAR part 29 "run
dry" requirement by asserting the loss of oil pressure in the main gear
box is "extremely remote". The S-92 is the first and only
helicopter to
meet these new standards !
