The first Sikorsky S-92 Helibus medium helicopter arrived at the company's West Palm Beach, Florida, development flight-test centre at the end of June, to be used as a propulsion systems testbed. Extensive ground-testing of the General Electric CT7-6D-powered helicopter is planned before the maiden flight, scheduled for the fourth quarter using the second prototype, which will be shipped from Sikorsky's Stratford, Connecticut plant in October.
