\"\"OH 23 Hiller<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

The Hiller UH-12<\/b>, derived from the Model 360<\/b> two-seater of 1948 with a 180hp Franklin engine, occupies an important place in the history of the American helicopter industry in the fifties. Stanley Hiller Jr., who built the aircraft, was something of a whiz kid, in that he designed and built his first helicopter, the XH-44<\/b>, in 1944 at the age of only 18. It was the first efficient American helicopter with coaxial, contra-rotating rotors. The later Hiller 360<\/b> leapt to fame in the summer of 1949 when it made the first transcontinental commercial flight. With an uprated engine and new UH-12A<\/b> rotor blades, it was purchased by the US Army and Navy for battlefield evacuation and observation tasks, with the designation H-23 Raven<\/b>, whilst the Navy ordered the same basic model as the HTE-1<\/b> for training.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Its successor, the H-23B<\/b>, powered by a 200-210hp Franklin engine, was the first version used by the US Army as a trainer. A considerable number were built: 216 were assigned to the Primary Flying School at Fort Walters and another 237 were used for various tasks.<\/p>\r\n

The UH-12B<\/b> normally had skid or flotation gear, but a wheeled undercarriage was fitted to a batch ordered by the US Navy (the HTE-2<\/b>). In 1955 a new variant, the UH-12C<\/b>, appeared. It retained the 200hp Franklin engine, but had all-metal rotor blades and a “goldfish bowl” cockpit canopy. From 1956, 145 were delivered to the US Army as the H-23C<\/b>. A purely military version, the OH-12D<\/b>, flew on 3 April 1956 and 483 went to the US Army. The Franklin engine had been replaced by the more powerful 320hp Lycoming VO-540, and the transmission had also been changed to increase the service life of the helicopter.<\/p>\r\n

The commonest version of this sturdy little helicopter was the UH-12E<\/b> which had a more powerful engine. The US Army replaced nearly all the OH-23D<\/b>s by Hiller 12E<\/b>s, designated OH-23G<\/b>. In 1960 the Model E4<\/b> was developed from the Hiller 12E<\/b>, with a longer cabin to seat four and an anhedral stabilizer on the tail boom. Twenty-two of these were acquired by the US Army as the OH-23F<\/b>, for geodetic research.<\/p>\r\n

The last civil variant, which appeared in 1963, was the Hiller 12L-4<\/b> which was also used as a test-bed for a PT6 turbine, but the project was taken no further.<\/p>\r\n

Total sales of the Hiller 12E<\/b> family exceeded 2000; more than 300 were exported. Operators of the Hiller included Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Great Britain, Guatemala, Japan, Morocco, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru and Uruguay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab _builder_version=”3.15″ title=”AH-1F” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” tab_text_shadow_style=”none” body_text_shadow_style=”none” tab_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” tab_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” tab_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab _builder_version=”3.15″ title=”UH-60″ use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” tab_text_shadow_style=”none” body_text_shadow_style=”none” tab_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” tab_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” tab_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]\r\n\r\nSikorski UH-60 Blackhawk\"\"\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab _builder_version=”3.15″ title=”OH-58″ use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” tab_text_shadow_style=”none” body_text_shadow_style=”none” tab_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” tab_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” tab_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]\r\n\r\nOH-58\"\"\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_tab][\/et_pb_tabs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
