The Piasecki HUP Retriever/H-25 Army Mule was a compact single radial engine, twin overlapping tandem rotor utility helicopter developed by the Piasecki Helicopter Corporation of Morton, Pennsylvania. Designed to a United States Navy specification, the helicopter was produced from 1949 to 1954, and was also used by the United States Army and foreign navies. The HUP/H-25 was the first helicopter to perform a loop and to be produced with an autopilot.
Designed to meet a US Naval requirement for a ship-based utility and rescue helicopter, the HUP Retriever was first flown as the XHJP-1 prototype in March 1948. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
