Bartle is a company descended from Piasecki Helicopters, and began developing large transport aircraft in 1956, shortly after its founding. The aircraft is a tandem rotor helicopter with twin turboshaft engines.The engine is mounted at the top of the rear fuselage, reducing noise and increasing the area of the cabin.In order to simplify the loading of cargo, a sloping door is installed at the rear of the fuselage. I attached it. Additionally, the cabin has been treated to be completely airtight, allowing safe operation even on the water. The prototype aircraft, named Vertle Model 107 (V-107), first flew in April 1958, and the U.S. Army, which had its eye on this huge helicopter, developed it into a research YHC-1A (later YHC-1C) in July. A small number were purchased as a model, but it was not adopted due to the low engine output. Due to unfavorable reviews from the Army, there were no orders, so the Model 107II, which had a more powerful engine with General Electric's T-58-110-1, was introduced and first flew on October 25, 1960. Then, in 1961, the U.S. Marine Corps adopted it as the HRB-1 Sea Knight, an amphibious assault helicopter, and it began to attract attention as a dual-use aircraft. Subsequently, the aircraft designation for the U.S. military was changed, and the model number was integrated into CH-46.
