The SO1221 Djinn was a
small two-seat light turbine
helicopter notable for
its unusual propulsion system.
The turbine engine was
used to produce compressed
air which was fed to
outlets at the ends of each blade.
This method of
propulsion had the benefit of not
requiring an
anti-torque system such as a tail-rotor.
The aircraft first
flew in 1953 and was produced until
the early 1960's
by which time 178 had been built.
The main
operator was the French military, but three
examples
were evaluated by the US Army as the
YHO-1. (This is
probably the reason manuals were
produced in
English.)
This CD contains two manuals for the SO1221, a
descriptive and operation manual and a technical
manual which includes flight manual data. The CD
has been
scanned from the original flight manuals
and retains any
colour pages.
