Bartle is a company descended from Piasecki Helicopters, and began developing large transport aircraft in 1956, shortly after its founding. The aircraft is a tandem rotor helicopter with twin turboshaft engines.The engine is mounted at the top of the rear fuselage, reducing noise and increasing the area of ​​the cabin.In order to simplify the loading of cargo, a sloping door is installed at the rear of the fuselage. I attached it. Additionally, the cabin has been treated to be completely airtight, allowing safe operation even on the water. The prototype aircraft, named the Vertle Model 107 (V-107), first flew in April 1958, and the U.S. Army, which had its eye on this huge helicopter, developed it into the research YHC-1A (later YHC-1C) in July. A small number were purchased as a model, but it was not adopted due to the low engine output. Due to unfavorable reviews from the Army, there were no orders, so the Model 107II, which had a more powerful engine with General Electric's T-58-110-1, was introduced and first flew on October 25, 1960. Then, in 1961, the U.S. Marine Corps adopted it as the HRB-1 Sea Knight, an amphibious assault helicopter, and it began to attract attention as a dual-use aircraft. Subsequently, the aircraft designation for the U.S. military was changed, and the model number was integrated into CH-46. Overall length (including rotor blades) 25.40m Overall w
