- ... that Alexander H. Flax was part of a small team of engineers who developed the Piasecki HRP Rescuer, the first true twin rotor helicopter? Source: "At Piasecki, Flax was one of a small group of engineers who developed the world's first twin-rotor, tandem helicopter (known as the Navy XHRP-1 or, more informally, as "The Dogship")." ([1] - free download. Quote is on p. 2)
5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC).
- Long enough, 5x expansion is verified, article generally within policy. No neutrality, referencing, or copyvio issue found. Hook found in article and is verified with the given citation. QPQ is valid. Hook is interesting, I suggest adding his more notable title to make it more interesting and relatable, not just a random engineer, for example:
- ALT1: ... that Alexander H. Flax, the future Chief Scientist of the U.S. Air Force, was part of a small team of engineers who developed the Piasecki HRP Rescuer, the first true twin rotor helicopter?
- However, the original hook is also good enough so I'll leave it to Hawkeye7 to decide. HaEr48 (talk) 04:51, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
- Fine with me. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:07, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
