That's a good option but how much weight can this helicopter handle?

The Sikorsky Skycrane can lift 10 tons.

If you need to lift more, then you'd have to use it's bigger brother,
the Sikorsky Super Stallion. It can lift 16 tons.

Is that enough?


Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion

The founder of Sikorsky Aircraft, the late Igor Sikorsky,
fled from Kiev to the US after the Russian Revolution
because he was an ally of the Czar!

Sikorsky was one of the pioneers of aviation.

He designed the world's first 4-engined fixed-wing aircraft
while still in Russia and, before switching to helicopter
production, manufactured the famous Pan Am Clippers.


Igor Sikorsky and Charles Lindbergh in an S-40, American Clipper.
