![](/files/8G2JmS31uFC9Ylmu8LA9) ![](/files/pk96d8gA80j8nUKqxCpr)

Multipurpose helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. Created on the basis of the UH-1N, intended for the United States Marine Corps. The most notable differences from the UH-1N are the new four-bladed rotor and the new GE T700-GE-401C engines, which significantly improved the aircraft's performance, including range, payload capacity and cruising speed.
