<p>Il Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane (dall'inglese &quot;gru volante&quot;), ora Erickson Air Crane S-64, è un elicottero biturbina pesante per il lavoro aereo con rotore a sei pale, progettato dalla Sikorsky negli Stati Uniti d'America all'inizio degli anni sessanta per le esigenze della United States Army.. Attualmente, in Italia, il COAU (Centro Operativo Aereo Unificato) della protezione civile italiana coordina i mezzi aerei antincendio del Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco, compresi gli S-64. Il suddetto Corpo utilizza la versione F, che ha come impiego principale la lotta antincendio, e come missione secondaria la movimentazione di grandi carichi, visto che il mezzo possiede una capacità di sollevamento superiore a 4 000 kg fino a quote di 3000 metri.<br />

The Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane (from the English &quot;flying crane&quot;), now Erickson Air Crane S-64, is a heavy twin-engine aerial work helicopter with a six-bladed rotor, designed by Sikorsky in the United States in the early 1960s for the needs of the United States Army. Currently, in Italy, the COAU (Unified Air Operations Center) of the Italian Civil Protection coordinates the firefighting aerial vehicles of the National Fire Brigade, including the S-64s. The aforementioned Corps uses the F version, whose primary purpose is firefighting, with a secondary mission of moving large loads, given that the vehicle has a lifting capacity of over 4,000 kg up to altitudes of 3000 meters.<br />
