Description
U.S. HRP-1 Rescue Helocopter
The Piasecki HRP-1 was an early tandem-rotor helicopter used by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Its elongated shape led to the familiar flying-banana description. The design explored the practical movement of personnel and equipment by helicopter before larger, more mature transport types appeared. It belongs to the experimental and formative stage of military rotary-wing transport, rather than to the later generation of turbine-powered rescue helicopters suggested by a broad modern use of that mission label. The distinctive tandem-rotor helicopter emerged from Piasecki’s early work on lifting useful loads without a tail rotor. Postwar service supported development of naval and Marine helicopter operations. Its appearance should not be confused with later, larger tandem-rotor transports that built on the same broad arrangement with substantially improved performance.
