UH1Ns

The UH-1N, commonly known as the "Huey," is a twin-engine utility helicopter originally developed for the United States military. It is a development of the earlier single-engine UH-1 Iroquois. The UH-1N features a distinctive tandem rotor configuration. Its primary role is troop transport, but it has also been adapted for various other missions, including search and rescue, medical evacuation, and special operations support.

The UH-1N is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada T400-CP-400 turboshaft engines, which provide increased power and redundancy compared to its single-engine predecessors. This twin-engine capability enhances its reliability and performance, especially in adverse weather conditions or over water. The helicopter has a crew of two pilots and can carry up to 14 passengers or an equivalent payload in cargo.

First flown in 1970, the UH-1N entered service with the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force. It has seen extensive use in various conflicts and deployments worldwide. The aircraft is known for its ruggedness and versatility, making it a workhorse for many military operations. While newer helicopter models have been introduced, the UH-1N continues to serve in some capacities, with ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade existing fleets. Its long service history and widespread deployment have cemented its status as an iconic military helicopter.
