Sikorsky S-51 - de eerste naoorlogse helikopter in Nederland

De Sikorsky S-51 heeft als eerste helikopter in het naoorlogse Nederlandse burger-luchtvaartregister een uitzonderlijke levensloop gehad. Oorspronkelijk aangekocht ter bestudering van de technische- en bedrijfseconomische aspecten, die het toen nog onbekende en in de kinderschoenen staande vliegen met hefschroefvliegtuigen voor zowel de civiele als de militaire luchtvaart met zich meebracht.
Deze PH-HAA en latere "Jezebel" hebben zich op een warme publieke belangstelling mogen verheugen. Dit was een logisch gevolg van een reeks van landelijke demonstraties en experimenten die met deze helikopter werden uitgevoerd.

Tijdens het tweede leven als marine hefschroef-vliegtuig (helikopter) oogstte het toestel grote bekendheid tijdens de februari-ramp in Zeeland. Dankzij het operationeel gebruik van dit hefschroefvliegtuig kon in Nederland de basis voor zowel de civiele als de militaire helikoptervliegerij worden opgelegd.

De geschiedenis van deze belangwekkende wentelwiek werd voor het eerst in twee afleveringen van het maandblad "Luchtvaart" gepubliceerd. Beide artikelen, maar nu voorzien van meer achtergrondinformatie en bovendien aangevuld met een beschrijving van het ontstaan van de S-51, vormen de inhoud van dit mooie boek.

Sikorsky H-34 - An Illustrated History

Originally designed in 1952 as an anti-submarine warfare platform for the U.S. Navy, almost two-thousand Sikorsky H-34s have served on every continent with the armed forces of twenty-five countries - from combat in Algeria, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and throughout southeast Asia, to saving flood victims, recovering astronauts, fighting fires, and carrying presidents, military H-34s have met every challenge handed them.
With continuing post-military service, the number of countries which the H-34 has called home has swelled to nearly fifty. Revitalized with turbine engines, it has yet to fade from sight. Whether lifting construction material or supporting police departments, the "DC-3 of helicopters" will still be flying on its fiftieth anniversary.

The most detailed account of the H-34 to appear, Lennart Lundh's Sikorsky H-34 reflects over a decade of research. It takes the reader through the H-34 from nose to tail, and across its service from Argentina to Vietnam.
Few of the photographs have been published before, and many are drawn from private collections. A special feature is the chapter of impressions and anecdotes from fourteen H-34 crew members.

Noted historian Lennart Lundh presents this diminutive helicopter's story for the first time. Covered are design details, international service, licensed production by Mitsubishi, and the story of the "Seaguard's" use by the U.S. Coast Guard.

A record of each airframe's history is included, as are photographs of three-quarters of the S-62As, S-62Js, and HH-52As produced. Of special interest are the recollections of nearly a score of Coast Guard pilots and aircrew, and the text of the Army's evaluation of the first production airframe.

UH-60 Black Hawk - Pilot's Flight Operation Instructions

Developed to replace the UH-1 Iroquis,Sikorsky's UH-60 Black Hawk first entered service in 1979. A four-blade, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter, the UH-60 serves as the U.S. Army's primary tactical transport helicopter.
Modified versions include models for the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and specialized versions including the UH-60C (modified for Command and Control missions), EH-60A (electronic systems operations and electronic warfare), and the UH-60Q (medical transport).

Two major variants of the Black Hawk currently exist: the UH-60L and UH-60M. The UH-60L incorporates improvements to the basic design that provide more power and lifting capability, as well as automatic flight control.
The newer UH-60M features upgraded engines, improved rotor blades, and state-of-the-art flight controls that will allow the helicopter's service life to extend to 2020 and beyond.

Over 2500 Black Hawks have been built, and nearly 1000 more are currently on order. Black Hawks have seen combat service for the U.S. Military in Grenada, Panama, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq. Other nations also employ the UH-60 including Brazil, Colombia, Israel, Mexico,Taiwan, Australia, Japan, and Turkey.

Created by Sikorsky and the U.S. Army, this pilot's flight operating manual profiles the UH-60Q Black Hawk. Over 500 pages long, this unclassified document is reprinted here in its entirety.

Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk (Osprey)

The successor to the legendary Bell UH-1 'Huey', the Sikorsky UH-60 first flew in 1974 and was christened the Black Hawk. It has become one of the most versatile and successful utility helicopters currently in service and has been used widely, from the invasion of Grenada to the ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
An attack helicopter configured with missiles, rockets, machine guns and cannon, the Black Hawk is also capable of undertaking a wide range of missions on the battlefield, including troop transport, command and control and aeromedical evacuation.
