Piasecki / Vertol / Boeing Helicopters model numbers

[hesham]

I complete up to PA.14,of course when I put question mark (?),the are only my speculations.

 

[hesham]

I reach to PA.22.

 

[hesham]

I raise up to PA.67,but please there is very important note,

the designations PA 59,61 and 67 were with involving of Vertol company,so they took
its series in numbers,and the prefix was change into PA !,do you understand my simple
English ?

 

[hesham]

After I discovered this patent,which was based on real project,I edited from PA 8 to PA 15.

 

[archipeppe]

After I discovered this patent,which was based on real project,I edited from PA 8 to PA 15.

Cool, this "stuff" seems to be a sort of PA-97 Helistat's forerunner:

 

[hesham]

I came cross PA.97.

 

[hesham]

Passing up to PA.890,but the PA.101D was also used by Vertol series.

 

[hesham]

From Bernard Collection;

PA.243-X-2 was a Proposal for Investigation of the Techniques for and the Problems of Designing
Variable Diameter Rotors Having Large Ratios of Extended to Retract Span

PA.243-X-3 was a Cost Proposal for Investigation of the Techniques for and the Problems of Designing
Variable Diameter Rotors Having Large Ratios of Extended to Retract Span

 

[hesham]

Also from Bernard Collection,

PA.84-X-5 was a vectored thrust take-off and landing recoverable strike RPV Project of 1973.

 

[hesham]

Again,from Bernard Collection,

PA.255-X-3 was a proposal for Air to Air Launch and Retrieval System,1972

 

[hesham]

I completed the PA series.

- To be continued

 

[hesham]

In second series,I reach to PH-47.

 

[hesham]

I came across V-90.

 

[hesham]

Raise up to Boeing-Vertol BV-170.

 

[hesham]

Also I approach to BV-236.

 

[twinotterpilot]

Hesham
In your list
BV-173 should be spelt Chinook. Is this the 8 CH-47C's that Canada bought and had delivered in 1975 as CH-147. Later sold to the Netherlands
BV-309 Is this the current fleet of CH-47F Canada operates now under the designation of CH-147F?

Thank yoy Twinotterpilot,

and I edit V-77,BV-148 & BV-149.

 

[Apophenia]

... BV-173 should be spelt Chinook. Is this the 8 CH-47C's that Canada bought and had delivered in 1975 as CH-147 [?]

Yes

BV-309 Is this the current fleet of CH-47F Canada operates now under the designation of CH-147F?

No. The CH-147F is an example of the 'International Chinook' in updated Model 414-100 form.

The BV-309 was another CH-47C variant designation (see below).

A few more for hesham ...

BV-107-II-28 = Sub-variant designation for the Canadian Army Voyageur (later CAF CH-113A)

BV-212 = Italian-licensed CH-47C by Elicotteri Meridionali

BV-237 = (Project) Boeing Flying Crane

BV-297 = (Project) Boeing Flying Crane; 3 x turboshafts

BV-298 = (Project) Large heavy-lift helicopter

BV-299 = (Project) Very large heavy-lift helicopter

BV-301 = Heavy-lift helicopter, XCH-62

BV-307 = (Project) Civil variant of XCH-62

BV-308 = CH-47C for the Fuerza Aérea Argentina

BV-309 = CH-47C for the Ejército Argentino

BV-347 = Experimental CH-47A derivative with wings, extended fuselage, 4-bladed rotors, etc.
