Ultimate SAR Cabin

Whether you need to perform a complex civil or military rescue operation or deliver food and water, the S92 helicopter is the ideal aircraft, with the robust flexibility and performance required for the search and rescue mission. The S92 offers one of the largest cabins in its class. The cabin is 20feet long (6.10 m), 6.6feet wide (2.01 m) and sixfeet high (1.83 m) tall enough for pas sengers and crew to stand and move comfortably. It rapidly converts to perform a variety of missions, including SAR, airborne law enforcement, cargo, mass casualty evacuation and more. The spacious cabin can accommodate: One or two optional auxiliary fuel tanks (210 gallons each) Designated FLIR operator console One or two triple NATOstandard litter kits Cargo box to organize and store equipment Sea tray designed to protect the cabin floor from salt water Ample room to move about The seats, fuel tanks and litter kits can quickly and easily be stowed or removed for maximum mission flexibility. The fullheight 50inch rightside sliding door is large enough to easily accommodate a standard stokes litter with unrestricted rescue hoist access. The S92 helicopter can be equipped with single or dual rescue hoists. Each hoist can lift 600 pounds (272 kg) and is electrically powered and controlled, providing 290 feet (88.4 m) of usable cable with a spotlight. The S92 helicopter also includes a nearly 7foot wide rear ramp (2.13 m) that enables quick and easy cargo loading and offloading. The ramp compart ment also provides additional stowage space.

Proven Safety

Safety Thats a Generation Ahead The only effective mission is a safe mission, where crews are kept out of harms way. The S92 helicop ter leads the safety category with fully redundant systems and features that are a generation ahead. Safety was designed into the S92, making it the first helicopter to meet stringent safety require ments established by the FAA and JAA. The S92 helicopters unique suction fuel system minimizes the chance of postcrash fire and meets the highest crashworthiness standards. Energy absorbing seats and landing gear are designed to minimize the effects of a hard landing. The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) and Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) are standard equipment on the S92 helicopter, underscoring our commitment to safety. Additionally, Sikorsky incorporated flaw tolerant design, which maximizes the reliability of S92 parts. Of course, the S92 helicopter delivers allweather safety. Whether crews are flying in the desert, over a mountain, or across an ocean, they may fly with peace of mind day and night.

The unique cockpit layout provides excellent field of view for safe operations. All flightcritical systems are fully redundant, preventing single-point failures.

Only the S-92 helicopter incorporates a fully flawtolerant design for both the rotor and fuselage structures, which provides significantly improved safety margins and ensures long component lives.

Energy-absorbing seats and landing gear minimize injury to occupants in an emergency. All passenger and crew seats are proven with dynamic testing.

The fuel system design meets the highest crashworthiness standards to minimize the chance of a postcrash fire. Older designs with fuel in the belly are neither safe nor allowed by the latest standards.
