Your Sunday Morning Rotor Noise

A Sikorsky H-34


If you're of a certain age, you'll remember the day when the UH-34 was the typical military helicopter, before being replaced by the UH-1.

Of a certain age, does that mean older than dirt? Had the pleasure of riding in the uh- 34.

Did several vertical air assaults riding in them. That didn't make me airborne, just a potential bullet sponge. Its engine was developed in 1932.

From growing up, I knew it as the Westland Wessex.

CP88, the Wessex was the turbine-powered version. The S-58 had an R-1820 radial piston engine, likely the only radial ever mounted on a tilted axis in an aircraft (though there were tanks that had something similar).

Nice note, I was wondering about that as I looked at the H-34 going that doesn’t quite look right...
