Development origins

Is [1] a WP:RS for the development of the CH-53? My 1962 Observer book of aircraft says that that CH-53 was a direct development of the Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe. Mztourist (talk) 08:55, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

While Air Vectors isn't really a reliable source as such, it is fairly accurate, and uses reliable sources. The information given isn't contradictory, however. The fuselage is obviously a scaled up version of the S-61/SH-3 (S-61R/CH-3C to be specific), while the dynamic systems (rotors, transmission, etc.) are from the S-64, which is Sikorsky's model number for the CH-54, specifically the civil Skycrane. - BilCat (talk) 15:38, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
So Air Vectors isn't RS. What is the RS for the fuselage development? Mztourist (talk) 05:03, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'll see if I can find one in my several print sources. - BilCat (talk) 05:32, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
