NPU Yan-An 2 Y-2A

Professor Xu Xianong was the founder of the NPU’s helicopter engineering discipline and chief designer of the

helicopter beginning in 1958; the design was influenced by the American Sikorsky R-6.  The Y-2A project was canceled because of performance issues in 1960.

The model was powered by a Soviet airplane engine which was insufficient to effectively lift the aircraft.
