Illustrating the principle by which the Djinn was powered, a close-up of the rotor head of the type fitted to the early models of the SO1221. This shows the compressed air duct rising from the right and its entry to the bellows chamber at the base of the hub, also the bob-weight stabiliser at 90 degrees to the blades. The hot air prevented any risk of blade icing.

The Djinn was quite at home at high altitude although an operational restriction was its rather limited range/endurance. The trials in the Swiss Alps in early 1955 were a great success, even though they nearly caused a diplomatic incident.

As part of the demonstrations at the Jungfraujoch, Dabos hovered the Djinn at over 3,400 metres altitude with a 'passenger' standing on each skid. In this view his engineer is not present in the cabin and the lady on the nearside looks rather lightweight!

F-WGVY c/n FC-3 was the Djinn used for high-altitude demonstrations in Switzerland in 1955. It is seen here on the Jungfrau col at 3,475 metres almost 700 metres below the summit, with the Sphinx Observatory at 3,580 metres as a backdrop.

A demonstration showing the ease with which two people could load a Djinn onto a road trailer. With the adjustable wheels lowered for ground handling and a hand powered winch cable attached to the nose of the helicopter, the tail is held down to keep the skids from grounding while the other operator winds SO1221-07 (FC-10) up the track which makes up the trailer frame.

F-WHHZ, also clearly painted as FC-16, has the three vertical tail surfaces although F-ZVLU had only the one. Both had the new, lighter undercarriage with curved lateral members which became the standard, and two rudder trim tabs, a long one for ground adjustment and a small one for flight adjustment by the pilot. F-WHHZ is here fitted with the new longer rotor.

This stretcher-equipped SO1221 is marked '12' on the rudder and thus is likely to be FC-21 which served with ALAT.

An SO1221 rigged for crop-spraying with spray fluid tanks on both sides. The maximum weight of 760 kg (1,675 lb) appears to have meant pilot-only operation but this is normal for crop spraying. This example's c/n is slightly obscured but seems to be FC-2 which would make it F-WGVX.

More "ironmongery" added to the already skeletal SO.1221 Djinn, is a crop-spraying ramp. All-up weight of the two-seat Djinn is 1.390 lb.

Close-up of the tail unit of an early SO1221. The single rudder deflects the Palouste Jetstream for directional control and the small fixed tailplane assists level flight stability. No rudder trim tab was fitted at this early stage.

Air-Britain Archive 2005-04 / M.Best - A History of the SO1221 "DJINN" Helicopter (2)

An experimental installation of fixed fins on the ends of the tailplane to improve directional stability in forward flight was fitted to several aircraft and used extensively before being abandoned on later machines.
