Sikorsky H-37 Mojave Heavy-Lifter Notebook

The Sikorsky H-37 Mojave, also known as the HR2S in its early days, is a true beast of the skies that dominated the 1950s and 1960s as one of the largest and most powerful helicopters of its time. Designed and built by Sikorsky, a pioneer in helicopter manufacturing, the H-37 Mojave was primarily used by the United States Marine Corps and the United States Army, showcasing its versatility and reliability. This twin-engine, heavy-lift helicopter was not only a workhorse in transporting troops and equipment but also played crucial roles in rescue operations and logistical support. Its distinctive feature, the clamshell loading doors at the rear, along with its impressive lifting capabilities, made it a standout aircraft. The Mojave set the stage for future generations of heavy-lift helicopters, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of rotary-wing aviation.
