Here is an interesting way to look at trial and error. . .

“At that time (1909) the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation”.

-Igor Sikorsky

The helicopter shown is a 1981 Sikorsky S-76A probably operating as University MedEvac 2, in Philadelphia, PA. FlightAware indicates the  the aircraft is now probably  retired after spending some time in Cleveland. University MedEvac , one of the pioneering programs in the country, are now flying several Eurocopter (Airbus)  models.
