Summary edit
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Designed and developed by Sikorsky Aircraft and converted to this configuration by Doman Helicopters, this US Air Corps R-6A is one of about 200 produced by Nash-Kelvinator just before the end of WW-II. The conversion is the work of Glidden Doman who worked on the development of the R-6 at Sikorsky. Doman Helicopters began working in Stratford in 1946, designing a system meant to simplify the rotor head and greatly reduce forces on the controls. The Air Force Propeller Laboratory aided the effort by loaning this aircraft, and after the Doman-funded first flights in 1947, contracted a flight test stress measurement program which confirmed the success of the new rotor system. |
