The Hughes Model 269A was available to the civilian market from 1961. With a 180-hp Lycoming O-360 piston engine it was the first commercially successful helicopter from Hughes. From 1964 to 1969 nearly 800 of these two seat helicopters were delivered to the US Army as training helicopters known as the TH-55A Osage. By late 1969 a more powerful three seat variant had been developed and flown with a 190-hp Lycoming piston engine, this was to become the popular 300C. The Hughes Model 300C was also licensed and built in Italy by BredaNardi. In July 1983 the Schweizer Aircraft Corporation became the licensed manufacturer and product support source for the Hughes 269/300C helicopters. |
