While the helicopter received some attention during World War 2 (1939-1945), it was not until the Korean War that its practical battlefield value was put to the test. One of the most famous designs to emerge from the fighting was the utilitarian Bell Model 47 which headed the opening credits of the M.A.S.H. television series in popular culture (though in its militarized H-13 Sioux form). In reality, the Model 47 proved the consumate workhorse used in a myriad of roles including medical transport and observation. With some 5,600 produced from the span of 1946 into 1974, the Model 47 can still be found in airspaces of today. The Bell Model 47 has been used by the nations of the United States, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, India, Italy, New Zealand, Peru, South Africa and the United Kingdom with many on public display as showpieces. The formal military variant is the Bell H-13 Sioux detailed elsewhere on this site.
Arthur M. Young served as an engineer at Bell Helicopters with a prior history designing and developing helicopter prototypes. With Bell behind him, his prototypes were realized into physical forms and eventually produced the Model 30 of 1943. Three of the type were eventually built and served in an experimental role. A single Franklin 6V4 piston engine developed 160 horsepower to drive the two-blade main rotor and two-blade tail rotor. Its fuselage was akin to a teardrop shape with a single-seat, open-air cockpit at the front, the engine at midships and a tapered empennage housing a drive shaft to the tail rotor. The tail rotor served as a counter-torque mechanism to the pull of the main rotor blades. The three-legged undercarriage was wheeled though fixed in place.
From this design was born the famous Model 47 which improved on several facets of the original. Seating was increased to two and power was derived from either a Franklin- or Lycoming-branded engine, now increased in output power to as much as 300 horsepower. Bell sold the United States Army on the design and the type was adopted for service in 1946 - too late to see operational service in World War 2 which officially ended in September of the previous year. The Bell design also became the first helicopter to be cleared for civilian use on March 8th, 1946. The US Army designated the militarized form as the H-13 'Sioux' and the type was featured heavily in the Korean War (1950-1953) to follow. The Model 47 was also a civilian marketplace stalwart where it's simple construction and contained flight characteristics ensured it a lengthy reach as a multi-role utility mount. The Model 47 was even attributed with several air records including a 1949 claim of reaching 18,550 feet for a helicopter, a 1950 feat seeing a Model 47 pass over the Alps and a 1952 world distance of 1,217 miles from Hurst, Texas to Buffalo, New York - the first for a piston-powered helicopter design.

Aug 15, 2020 The Bell 47 and the Bell 47A were both powered by Franklin piston engines. The military version of the 47, the Bell 47B (YR-13/HTL-1), uses a Franklin O-335-1 engine. An agricultural and utility version, the Bell 47B-3, was made with open crew positions and was also modified into the Bell 'Airmailer' for the US Postal Service to use.
