A 1946 publicity stunt by Sikorsky

 


United Aircraft's Sikorsky Division staged this stunt as part of the record-breaking show put on recently with Army Sikorsky R-5 helicopters at Bridgeport, Conn.. Sixteen men straddled boards attached to the landing gear and the pilot and another passenger occupied the cockpit in a display of the craft's lifting power.
