Power, Capacity, and Performance

 

Our Sikorsky S-58T delivers unmatched performance in the medium helicopter class. With a 420-gallon bucket, it outperforms the Bell 212 (325 gallons), especially in high-density altitude environments — often carrying nearly double the load per turn.

​

Its larger internal capacity (34.5 cubic feet) and high ground clearance allow it to land in rugged terrain where skid-equipped helicopters simply can’t. The result: faster turnarounds, more water on the fire, and greater impact where it counts most.
