Brantly-Hynes B-2

The B-2 and the Brantly-Hynes 305 (next entry) have tail cones that seem to grow out of the fuselage, and combined with the double-bulge Plexiglas canopy, they look like aluminum ice cream cones with a scoop of glass on top. The half-round door windows are unique to Brantly-Hynes copters.

Produced by an Oklahoma company that turned out a few dozen helicopters annually for 20 years, and now manufactured under license in India. All of the B-2s were delivered with small tail wheels on their skids.
