The new Vertol 76 as a true vertical take off and landing aircraft, an experimental vehicle that casts a large shadow into the future.

With its ability to take off hover and land like a helicopter it is independent of all but the most rudimentary landing areas, yet it flies from point a point with the dispatch of a turbo-prop passenger plane

In this pioneer air vehicle the wing and rotor propellers tilt as a unit through a 90° arc at the will of the pilot. For vertical flight he rotates the wing upward. To fly level he tilts the wing forward. Given a small runway, he can set the wing at the most effective angle to operate model 76 as a short take off and landing aircraft (S.T.O.L) and thus increase payload potential.

The Model 76 soon to undergo flight tests has been developed by Vertol for the Army Transportation Corps and the Office of Naval Research as part of the military's ceaseless quest for greater mobility and efficiency. From flight tests will come experience and knowledge applicable to the bright future of V.T.O.L. in military and commercial aviation.

Since 1943 Vertol has been a pioneer in the research and development of vertical lift aircraft. It is now the largest independent manufacturer of helicopters. You may find that our know how, our experienced personnel, our test facilities and our productive capacity can help you solve a problem.

Engineers, if you're not already working for the government air defence industry, investigate job opportunities with Vertol.
