McCulloch Helicopter Projects

[hesham]

Hi,

a well known company,it developed also MC-9 ultra-light single seat helicopter,and MC-10,a light cargo tandem rotor and MC-11,which was a radio controlled attack helicopter.

That means there was also from MC-5 to MC-8 Projects ?.

A rather nice image of the McCulloch MC-4.

And here's a utility helicopter mockup of 1952 ?.

What evidence do you have that it's the MC-5? There is no model number given.

There's actually some photos scanned from this collection - https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/special_ms364_photographs/

What evidence do you have that it's the MC-5? There is no model number given.

That's only my speculation,because after MC-4 of 1951/52,the next
known design was MC-9 of 1953.

 

[overscan (PaulMM)]

Speculation without evidence can become cited as truth elsewhere especially if the language isn't clear.

 

[hesham]

OK,I will delete the designation.

A McCulloch Helicopter "utility helicopter mockup in 1952" could have been a derivative of the MC-4 rather than an entirely different model.

There is no evidence that the designations MC-5 to MC-8 were ever allocated, but if they were, it had to be during the 1951-52 period, and therefore this utility project could be any of them. It could also be, as overscan pointed out, a sub-version of the MC-4, or even the MC-10, of which little is known.

Sorry, I'd forgotten you had already shared them. Well, at least mine are in much better resolution, so they complement your post.

MC-11 was ahead of it's time it seems.

At https://www.heli-archive.ch/en/helicopters/in-depth-articles/jovair-4e-sedan there is an article on the Jovair 4E Sedan, a derivative of the McCulloch MC-4 helicopter.
