Could a shorter helicopter fit existing carrier hangars?

Does the shorter AB 102 show that piston-engined helicopters could fit lower hangars?

Shorter helicopters are possible, but fitting the hangar can impose costs in maintenance space, troop capacity, and versatility.

The AB 102 cited in the question is a 1959 design, later than the helicopter generation used for the interwar scenario. Compact helicopters are possible, but reducing their dimensions can make maintenance harder and restrict internal space. The Whirlwind benchmark is intended to provide a useful naval aircraft with several roles. Its Wessex successor illustrates the attraction of a larger machine capable of carrying sixteen troops and performing other naval tasks.
