Sikorsky S-64

The S-64 “Skycrane” was originally designed for the military and had inter-
changeable pods that fit underneath for troop transport and cargo movement.
The S-64 has six rotor blades and two turbine powered jet engines, which
allows it to carry heavy loads.

In 1992 Erickson Air Crane purchased the manu-
facturing rights to the S-64 and modified it to carry a 2,650 gallon tank. The
tank can be filled by a draft hose in less than one minute, while the helicopter
is hovering. The S-64 requires a pilot and co-pilot to fly it and typically has a 6
to 8 person support crew.
