The Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane is an American twin-engine heavy-lift helicopter, and the biggest helicopter aerial crane. It was developed from the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane, the civilian variant of the CH-54 Tarhe, once the world’s largest helicopter. In 1992, Erickson Air-Crane bought the manufacturing rights to the S-64 Skycrane. Currently, the company is producing S-64 Aircranes for companies, governments, and non-governmental organizations. The S-64 Aircrane is presently the biggest helicopter in the world used extensively by fire fighting services around the globe to control bushfires. It is also used for logging activities and heavy lift construction.
