UH1F

The UH-1F is a variant of the UH-1 Iroquois, a multi-mission, cargo and personnel helicopter used by the military. The UH-1F is primarily used as a utility helicopter, with roles including transportation of troops, cargo, and equipment, as well as medical evacuation.

The UH-1F is essentially a modified version of the UH-1D model, with several key differences. The most notable distinction is the adoption of semi-tail rotor instead of the conventional tail rotor found on the UH-1D. The semi-tail rotor was designed to reduce vibration, improve efficiency, and enhance stability during low-speed operations. Additionally, the UH-1F features a more streamlined nose and improved antennas.
