The Helio Courier is a cantilever high-wing light STOL utility aircraft designed in 1949. Around 500 of these aircraft were manufactured in Pittsburg, Kansas, from 1954 until 1974 by the Helio Aircraft Company. The design featured four leading edge slats that deployed automatically, and large trailing edge flaps. The engine was the 295 hp Lycoming GO-480, which had a gearbox that lowered the output RPM and allowed for the use of a large three-bladed propeller to further improve takeoff performance. Couriers were famous for their takeoffs, which often took only a few plane lengths and then climbed at very high angles. During airshow demonstrations, it was common for the aircraft to actually take off across a 100 - 200 foot wide runway. The geared engine, however, required constant maintenan

  • El Helio Courier es un avión utilitario C/STOL estadounidense diseñado en 1949. Se fabricaron alrededor de 500 de estos aviones en Pittsburg (Kansas), de 1954 a 1974, por la . El diseño presentaba cuatro slats de borde de ataque que se desplegaban automáticamente, y grandes flaps de borde de fuga. El motor era el de 295 hp, que tenía una caja reductora que reducía las RPM de salida y permitía el uso de una gran hélice tripala que mejoraba las prestaciones al despegue. Los Courier fueron famosos por sus despegues, que a menudo les tomaban unas pocas longitudes del avión y luego trepaban en ángulos muy elevados. Sin embargo, el motor requería mantenimiento constante y fue un gran inconveniente del diseño. (es)
  • Lo Helio Courier è un aereo da trasporto leggero con ala alta a sbalzo e capacità C/STOL progettato nel 1949. Furono costruiti circa 500 esemplari di questo aereo a Pittsburgh, Kansas tra il 1954 e il 1974 dalla Helio Aircraft Company. L'intera area della cabina dell'Helio Courier è una struttura tubolare in acciaio saldato ricoperto da rivestimento in alluminio. L'integrità strutturale e la resistenza agli urti raggiunta hanno contribuito a un tasso di mortalità straordinariamente basso per questa classe di velivolo in caso di impatto. (it)
  • Helio Courier är ett amerikanskt STOLflygplan framtaget för flygfältsfattiga områden. Helio Courier som konstruerats vid Helio Aircraft Corp i , Massachusetts är ett högvingat helmetallflygplan med plats för fem personer. Flygplanets landställ består av ett sporrhjul samt ett fast specialkonstruerat huvudställ som skall medge landningar i stark sidvind. Lycoming-motorn driver en Hartzell constant speed propeller. Flygplanets STOL-egenskaper medger att man når 15 meters höjd efter en 150 m lång startsträcka och att flygplanet klarar av att stanna från 15 meters höjd på samma sträcka. (sv)
