In 1955, Hughes Tool Company‘s Aircraft Division carried out a market survey which showed that there was a demand for a low-cost, lightweight two-seat helicopter. The division began building the Model 269 in September 1955. In 1964, Hughes introduced the slightly-larger three-seat Model 269B which it marketed as the Hughes
300. In 1969 the improved Hughes 300C (sometimes 269C) was released.
