The CH-54 Tarhe helicopter was developed by Sikorsky Aircraft, a company founded by the prominent Ukrainian aircraft designer Igor Sikorsky. The first flight of the helicopter (originally named S-64) took place on May 9, 1962.
The helicopter was built on a modular principle, which simplified its maintenance and repair. It had a tall three-post landing gear with a front support, which allowed a tractor with a trailer approach its fuselage freely.
The helicopter’s powerful winches allowed it to pick up cargo in a hover mode, without the need to land on the ground. During the Vietnam War it evacuated damaged airplanes and various helicopters, transported artillery pieces, cars, tanks and even combat boats on an external sling.
It was also used to drop high-powered bombs to clear the forest for an airfield. This helicopter set 10 world records for its class, including lifting a 15-ton cargo to 3307 meters. The civilian version of the helicopter (Erickson S-64 Aircrane) is still in successful operation today.
The Sikorsky CH-54 (another designation: S-64) was and still is an American twin-engine flying crane with a metal, half-shell structure in a classic arrangement with a main rotor and a tail rotor on the beam. The drive is provided by two JFTD-12A engines with a power of 4834 KM each. The flight of the first prototype took place in 1962, and serial production started in 1969 - in the case of the civilian version - continues to this day. It is estimated that about 105 copies of the helicopter ego were built.
The Sikorsky CH-54 was created as a result of the US Army's demand for a heavy transport helicopter, capable of operating in difficult conditions. They were created in the course of serial production only three development versions of this machine. The first was a prototype series designated YCH-54A. The first production series were machines designated as CH-54A. There were also created versions of the CH-54B with a reinforced hull structure, higher lifting capacity and more powerful engines. The Sikorsky CH-54 were used extensively during the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975). After this conflict, many of them remained in service, but by 1991 all CH-54s were withdrawn.
