A Bell XH-40, a prototype of the UH-1 and Bell 204. Bell designed its Model 204 in response to a 1955 United States Army requirement for a utility helicopter. The 204 was a giant step forward in helicopter design, being one of the first to be powered by a turboshaft.
The Sioux is a single-engine single-rotor three-seat observation and basic training helicopter. In 1953 the Bell 47G design was introduced. In 1953 the Bell 47G design was introduced. It can be recognized by the full "soap bubble" canopy (as its designer Arthur M. Young termed it), [ 7 ] exposed welded-tube tail boom, saddle fuel tanks and skid ...
A typical helicopter has three flight control inputs: the cyclic stick, the collective lever, and the anti-torque pedals. [2] Depending on the complexity of the helicopter, the cyclic and collective may be linked together by a mixing unit , a mechanical or hydraulic device that combines the inputs from both and then sends along the "mixed ...
This category is intended for equipment that is associated specifically with the operation of helicopters but is not a component of the helicopter required for the function of flight (e.g. rotors, engines, controls).
It also reportedly makes greater use of titanium and composites in its rotor blades and rotor, [4] and replaces the Z-8's boat-shaped lower fuselage with a tail ramp for small vehicles. [1] It has a glass cockpit [2] and is powered by three WZ-6C turboshafts. [2] [1] The Z-18's maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) is 13.8 tonnes. In late-2014, the ...
A production contract worth about ₩4.4 trillion (equivalent to ₩4.78 trillion or US$4.23 billion in 2017) [6] is expected to be signed around 2011 before the start of mass production. Eurocopter took a stake of 30 percent in the 2006-2012 development phase and 20 percent in the following ten-year production phase, KAI and the South Korean ...
Helicopter Training Squadron EIGHT (HT-8) is a United States Navy helicopter training squadron based at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, FL. [1] The squadron's mission is helicopter pilot training for U. S. Navy, U. S. Marine Corps and U. S. Coast Guard Student Naval Aviators and for selected foreign military flight students from basic helicopter flight training through winging.
For example, the Bell UH-1 Iroquois (known as the "Huey") has given rise to a number of derivatives through stretching and re-engining, including the Bell AH-1. Modern helicopters have introduced modular systems which allow the same airframe to be configured for different roles, for example the Augusta Westland AW101 "Merlin" in Royal Navy ...
