  • UH-1 design question

    I'm doing out the UH-1 right now. (Don't expect it for a while). What I'm wondering is should I do it all in one entry, or in three entries (early Hueys UH-1A to UH-1D and variants, late Twin Hueys and their variants, and then the UH-1Y in a separate entry). Which would you rather see

    Considering how many versions there are, it might make sense to break it down into at least two entries: Single Engined birds, and Twin Engined.

      I agree with Panther Al, I think it would be clearer for the reader if it's broken down into at least two types, i.e. single engine and twin engine.

          So here's what I'm going to do:

          1) Single-engined UH-1s, including Hawgs and specialist and foreign versions
          2) Twin-engined UH-1s (mostly from UH-1N), including specialist and foreign versions
          3) UH-1Y Venom
          4) Bell 204/205 series
          5) Bell 212/214 series

                Since its electrons, I'd vote for three. If there are differences between them, there's no real reason not to have each one separately.

                  The Canadians also have a version that resembles the one used by US Naval forces....only they adopted it decades earlier.

                    CH-135 Twin Huey: A Canadian version of the UH-1N, Canada purchased 50 CH-135s with deliveries starting in 1971. The aircraft were retired from the Canadian Forces starting in 1996 and struck off strength in December 1999. 41 of the surviving CH-135s were acquired by the US government in December 1999 and transferred to the National Army of Colombia and Colombian National Police.

                    CH-146 Griffon Canadian version of the Bell 412EP , a custom built utility transport helicopter made for the Canadian Forces. Canada purchased 100 aircraft.
