FAA# N76EX
The Sikorsky S-76 is an American medium-size commercial utility helicopter, manufactured by the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. The S-76 features twin turboshaft engines, four-bladed main and tail rotors, and retractable landing gear.
As of April 2022, over 875 S-76 aircraft have been built.
Sikorsky halted new orders for the S-76 in March 2022 while it sought overseas manufacturing partners due to low sales numbers, high cost of supply and manufacturing, and the prohibitive costs associated with adapting the S-76 to meet increasing safety mandates. This has effectively ended production of the S-76 after the completion of three current existing orders and has resulted in Sikorsky withdrawing from the medium commercial helicopter market.
