The Hughes 269C was a lightweight helicopter that became a workhorse in military training and civilian operations throughout the 1960s and beyond. Originally developed as the TH-55 Osage for the U.S. Army, it served as the primary primary trainer helicopter, teaching generations of pilots the fundamentals of rotorcraft flight. Known for its simple, reliable design and exceptional maneuverability, the 269C remains one of the most recognizable helicopters in aviation history.
Every aircraft in the Cutler West collection is drafted as a detailed technical blueprint, capturing the airframe in clean, precise line work. It is aviation rendered the way engineers first saw it, on the drawing board, and reads as well in a study or office as it does in a hangar.
