Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. completed the first flight of its second S-76D helicopter. The prototype aircraft successfully completed its initial test card during a flight on March 19 that lasted approximately 30 minutes.

Sikorsky Chief Test Pilot Greg Barnes and Pilot Tom Davis conducted the test flight of the S-76D at Sikorsky's Development Flight Center in Florida. The test brings the second of three prototypes into the programme, allowing Sikorsky to begin testing the engines for certification credit. The team will run D2 through a series of tests to validate the performance of the new PW210S engines.
