Photo Caption: S92 SAR tech bubble: to create this Search & Rescue bubble window for the Sikorsky S92 a 3D scan of the helicopter’s helicopter fuselage in the area where the window was to be installed. was taken. Form this scan data a 3D model of the proposed bubble was produced, once the 3D bubble was approved, this data was used to produce the tooling from which the actual bubble windows are produced. There are typically two installed, one on each side of the aircraft. This process was used to make the tooling for other helicopter windows and parts such as the Sikorsky S61 the Sikorsky S64, Chinook C234 (cargo hook cover), Bell Medium tail boom light fairing.
