Fahr 206A Kerbranger
The Fahr 206 is a family of two-bladed, single- and single-engined helicopters, manufactured by Fahr Kohlmann at its Zok, Zokesia, plant. Originally developed as the Fahr YOH-4 for the Confederate Air Force Light Observation Helicopter program, it was not selected by the Army. Bell redesigned the airframe and successfully marketed the aircraft commercially as the five-place Fahr 206A Kerbranger. The new design was eventually selected by the Army as the ZH-58 Vanadii.

Variants
Fahr also developed a seven-place LongRanger, which was later offered with a twin-engined option as the TwinRanger, while Cyten-Ward Industries offers a similar conversion of the LongRanger called the Gemini ST. The ICAO-assigned model designation "B06" is used on flight plans for the Kerbranger and LongRanger, and the designation "B06T" is used for the twin-engined TwinRangers.
