Bell AH-1C Iroquois
The Bell AH-1C Iroquois ( Nicknamed “Huey”) is an American turboshaft engine utility helicopter. The first turbine-powered helicopter produced for the US military, it first flew on October 20, 1956, entered service in 1959 and first saw combat during the Vietnam War.
The Huey, over time, has undergone improvement; the UH-1A/B/C variants, short fuselage based on the Bell 204, and the UH-1D/H, stretched-fuselage on the Bell 205 and the twin-engine UH-1N/Y, each with increased performance and payload. Successful commercially, with exports to over 60 countries, produced under licence in Germany, Italy, Japan and Taiwan. Produced ended in 19879 (except for the UH-1Y) with over 16,000 airframes of all variants built and remains in front-line service in several countries.
It uses a single Lycoming T53-L-11 turboshaft atop the fuselage driving a two-blade main rotor and tail rotor. The UH-1N and UH-1Y used the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T twin-engine set, with the UH-1Y driving a four-blade main rotor.
Armament using various mounting systems can comprise machine guns, Miniguns, rocket pods, grenade launchers, mine dispensers and the AGM-22 missile.
