The original XR-1 helicopter, first flown tethered as early as 12 May 1941. The water tower reads General Steel Castings, proof that this is the Platt-LePage factory site in Eddystone. Several early American helicopter companies were based in Pennsylvania, including Piasecki, and today Boeing's helicopter factory occupies the General Steel Castings site, across the Crum Creek from the Platt-LePage site.

'Hunting for uranium, copper, lead and other metals is made easier and quicker with a new electromagnetic detector developed by Newmont Mining Corp. and engineered by Philadelphia's Aero Service Corp. The detector consists of two coils mounted on fore and aft booms on a Sikorsky helicopter. The front coil transmits a tuned electrical signal as it flies over the survey area. The metals cause disturbances in the signal, which are picked up by the rear coil. The aircraft covers more terrain in a day than foot-slogging ground crews do in months.'

This is the second prototype of the Kellett XR-8, the XR-8A, which had rounded tailfins. It had two-bladed intermeshing rotors first, but these were replaced by three-bladed rotors soon. In a sequence of photos by Rudy Arnold, it is flagged down by a Philadelphia motorcycle cop at a 25 mph speed limit sign - much the same joke as seen in photo 363024. Flying the troublesome Kellett helicopters was not fun at all, but it is not clear when both XR-8s flew for the last time. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

The XR-10, which was to carry ten troops, was said to be the largest helicopter in the world. It first flew on 24 April 1946. This photo was probably taken during a press demonstration on 25 September. Powered by two Wright R-975 Whirlwind engines in nacelles on the sides, the beast was dangerous to fly and the prototype crashed on 3 October 1949, killing test pilot Dave Driskill.
