Summary edit

Description

"In 1953, Sikorsky designed the H-37 to fulfill a U.S. Marine Corps requirement for an assault transport helicopter capable of lifting 23 fully equipped troops. "The Army conducted trial tests at Fort Rucker on the H-37 capabilities as a transportation/cargo helicopter. These tests resulted in acquisition of the H-37 into the Army's inventory as its primary transportation/cargo helicopter. "The "Mojave" is a twin-engine, single rotor helicopter and was one of the first to have a retractable undercarriage. Clamshell doors in the nose of the fuselage permitted the loading of small vehicles as well as troops. The H-37 design was Sikorsky's first attempt at a multi-engine helicopter."
