Brantly Helicopter Projects

[hesham]

Hi,

The Brantly B-3 was a project for tandem twin rotor helicopter
could accommodated 6-seat and B-4 was very large version of
B-3 but powered by four engines (two forward and two aft) and
could accommodated 50-seat.

I only found one picture of tandem rotor Brantly type, the B2J10,
obviously a development of the single rotor B-2
(from Aviation Week1965 18-27)

For more about Brantly helicopters:

• Brantly YHO-3 here.
• ARDC TP-900 here.
• A former Brantly B-2 pilot here.
• Hynes H-5T pilotless helicopter derived from B-2 here.

Hello! Very nice picture of the Brantly B.1!!! I've never seen one before in color. Would it be possible to watch the video with the Brantly B.1? I posted an in-depth article on the Brantly on my website, here is the link: https://www.heli-archive.ch/en/helicopters/in-depth-articles/brantly-b-2/

Have a nice day,

Mario

Hynes H-5T - pilotless helicopter derived from Brantly B-2. Powered by one Lycoming VO-360A1A. From 1986 US Army operates unknown number of these machines with new composite airframe to simulate Mi-24D Hind.

Apparently there is another Hynes H-5,has a five-seat ?.

Apparently there is another Hynes H-5,has a five-seat ?.

There was. But, having nothing to do with US Army aggressor helicopters, should this post not be in the Brantly Helicopter Projects section?

As for the Hynes H-5, AFAIK, this was an alternative designation for the Brantly-Hynes 305 (in the same way that Hynes H-2 was another designation for the Brantly-Hynes B2B model). [1] As already noted, the Hynes H-5 was a piloted 5-seat variant related to both the 'legacy' Brantly 305 and RPV Hynes H-5T.
________________________

[1] In 1971, Mike Hynes's Florida-based Brantly Operators had bought the the tooling from Brantly parent firm Gates Learjet. In 1975, the renamed Brantly-Hynes Helicopter Inc. resumed production of the B2B. The Model 305 followed. As the clipping shows, Brantly-Hynes was later rebranded as Hynes Helicopter, Inc.

Brantly B2A, XS681 & B2B, XS683 (and Hughes 269A, XS684 & XS685) were evaluated at Boscombe Down and Idris, Libya during 1963 as a possible Skeeter replacement to GSOR.1124.
