Designed by Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky, the renowned former Russian aircraft engineer, The S-38 was a development of the S-36, which was Sikorsky’s first amphibian, and which seated eleven.

Following the success of the S-38 series, Sikorsky designed the S-39 specifically aimed at the sportsman pilot, the first production S-39A being flown in the National Air Tour of the United States in 1930.

Developed from the Sikorsky R-4 (the Vought Sikorsky Model 316A), which was the first helicopter produced for the US armed services in quantity, the Vought Sikorsky Model 327 followed the design layout, with main and tail rotors shaft-driven from an engine in the fuselage, but it was a completely new

Sikorsky began development of a general-purpose helicopter to meet US military requirements in 1948, a contract being received from the US Air Force for five examples of the new design, known as the S-55 or H-19.

The S-58 series was a development of the S-55 and was aimed at overcoming the range and carrying capacity deficiencies of the earlier machine.

In April 1971 Sikorsky received approval from the US FAA to convert a number of S-58s to turbine power using the PT6T-3 Twin Pac in order to increase the power and load carrying capacity of the machine, and to meet heavy lift requirements of a number of operators.

The Sikorsky S-61 series was originally designed to meet a US Navy requirement for a single helicopter to perform both the hunter and killer anti-submarine role.

The S-62A was a development of the well proven S-55 series using many components of that type, including rotor blades, main and tail rotor heads, main, intermediate and tail gearboxes, shafting, and portions of the flying control and hydraulic systems, but with a completely new amphibious fuselage.
