Sikorsky S-61N
The Sikorsky S-61N is one of only few helicopter types that have achieved commercial success in airline service. The basic design was for a military transport helicopter, the Sea King, of which Sikorsky developed two civil models. The S-61L (without floats) flew for the first time on 2 November 1961, followed by the S-61N on 7 August 1962. The helicopter seats up to 30 passengers and is widely used in the oil rig support business. A total of 116 aircraft has been built. The production ended in 1979.
