Bell-47D1 Helicopter

Resembling an insect, this green Bell-47d1 helicopter was the first rotorcraft designed in America for civilian use in 1945. The structural nature, bubble-like plastic façade, lengthy hind tailrotor lends a look of lightness and buoyancy to the aircraft. The helicopter is suspended at New York's Museum of Modern Art, surrounded by the likes of Picasso, Kusama, Brancusi, and Whitten.
