EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, two iconic Sikorsky helicopters, the Sikorsky S-51 and the Sikorsky S-52 or H-18, gracefully take center stage. The Sikorsky S-51, identified by its registration number NC92801, is positioned in the foreground. Its distinctive rotor blades, with their distinctive "J"-shaped tips, are poised to lift the aircraft into the sky. The Sikorsky S-52 or H-18, with its larger size and more robust design, stands proudly behind. Both helicopters are renowned for their contributions to the world of rotorcraft aviation. The Sikorsky S-51, also known as the Sikorsky S-51 Helicopter, was a versatile and popular helicopter produced by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in the late 1940s and 1950s. It was the first mass-produced helicopter and was used for various applications, including military training, search and rescue, and even as a television news helicopter. The Sikorsky S-52 or H-18, on the other hand, was a larger, more powerful helicopter that was introduced in 1952. It was designed for transporting passengers and cargo over long distances and was widely used by the US military during the Korean War. Its distinctive "D"-shaped fuselage and powerful twin engines made it a formidable presence in the skies. This photograph captures a moment in time when these two historic helicopters, the Sikorsky S-51 and the Sikorsky S-52 or H-18, are brought together. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable advancements in rotorcraft technology and the enduring legacy of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in the world of aviation.
