The prototype S - 52 , first flown in 1947 , was a two - seater and used a 178 hp ( 133 kW ) Franklin air - cooled flat - 6 piston engine . The two - seat version was modified into the S - 52 - 2 , a four - seat helicopter using a 245 hp ( 183 kW ) Franklin O - 425 - 1 air - cooled flat - 6 . It had a semi - monocoque fuselage of pod - and - boom arrangement with large bubble - like front greenhouse , three - blade rotor , and quadricycle fixed landing gear . The production S - 52 - 3 ( HO5S - 1 ) incorporated a downward sloping ( anhedral ) v - tail stabilizer . It also had sliding doors on the right forward and left rear sides , and a vertically split front bubble , allowing the left half to swing open in a clamshell fashion .

The Navy operated the aircraft as a utility type , and it was used by the Marines for observation and scouting in Korea , where the HO3S proved more popular .

Many of the former military HO5S - 1 units were demilitarized , rebuilt , and licensed as civil aircraft by Orlando Helicopters , who acquired the parts inventory from Sikorsky .
