2 MAY 06: BRING ON THE ICE, SIKORSKY'S S-92

SIKORSKY'S giant S-92 has been cleared for flight into known icing conditions by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The 19-seat S-92 is fitted with Rotor Ice Protection System (RIPS), and was tested by EASA, the FAA and Transport Canada in Alaska last winter.
RIPS determines the temperature and moisture content of the surrounding air and applies heat to the main and tail rotor blades to remove ice build-up.
* A new S-92 flight simulator is to be installed at FlightSafety International's
training centre at Farnborough Airport. www.flightsafety.com
