Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft, manufactures the Sikorsky S-76, a multi-role, medium-size utility helicopter. It was primarily designed and developed for the Canadian company CHC Helicopter Corporation. The S-76 made its first flight on March 13, 1977. Over 800 S-76 helicopters have been delivered to various operators around the world.
