This improved Model D was a light, multi-purpose three-seater powered by a Franklin engine which, through a two-stage planetary transmission system, drove a main rotor of laminated wooden blades with steel leading edges, a tail rotor and a cooling fan.

There were three main components: the cabin with a bubble-type Perspex (Plexiglass) canopy, the central component with the engine and transmission system, and the body, a soldered tube structure.

This helicopter had a synchronized elevator directly linked to the cyclic pitch control lever, an improvement which gave better stability and an increased margin of centre-of-gravity travel. The landing gear consisted of two skis 2.88 metres apart, and, if needed, quick-change flotation gear could be fitted. In the former case, two small wheels assisted handling on the ground.

This helicopter has been used in more than forty countries for agricultural purposes, aerial survey, police patrol, rescue work and other duties.

The service designations were H-13G in the United States Air Force, HTL-6 in the United States Navy. The designation 47G-1 is that given to the prototype of the 47J equipped with a Lycoming 250hp derated engine.
