Features
The Sikorsky CH-54A Skycrane is a novel design at heavylift helicopters as it is essentially a CH-53 that has been turned into a rotary-winged skeleton. Gone is the weight of the enclosed cargo compartment and the width to accommodate different loads. Instead, the spine serves as the main airframe structure onto which an exposed engine and power train are mounted, at the rear a tail similar to the CH-53, and up front, an enclosed cockpit pod large enough for three people - pilot, co-pilot, and load operator/flight engineer. The main landing gear wings are set out far enough for the aircraft to straddle virtually any load.
The CH-54 could carry a specially designed pod which could be changed to suit different missions. One pod would accommodate troop transportation while another served as an air ambulance/patient transport. For this purpose, four winches held the pod to the airframe, and the pods could be landed or lifted while the helicopter remains in a hover.
Note: Assembly required. Paint/glue not included.
