Military Potential Test of the Turbine-Powered U-6 Airplane.

Abstract

The U-6 aircraft manufacturer, in an effort to utilize the advantages of the turbine engine, modified a company-owned U-6 Airplane. The modification consisted principally of replacing the R-985 reciprocating engine with a T-74 (PT6A-6) engine and lengthening the fuselage. An unsolicited proposal to test this airplane was submitted to the Headquarters, US Army Materiel Command (USAMC). Headquarters, USAMC, directed that a comparative military potential test be conducted between a US Army U-6 and the Turbo-Beaver. (Author)
