This is my first helicopter pls be nice to meeee X3X3X3

The HM-20 Ghost Rider is the Kingdom of Los' (semi) stealth attack/multi purpose military helicopter. It utilises a combination of contra rotating rotors, 2 tail rotors and a fly by wire system to not only give it great stability, but also the ability to fly at very high angles of slip, like flying backwards. It has an extra turboprop engine in the back to help it move fast in dangerous situations. Also, it features a three stage ejection mechanism. The first stage pushes up a wedge that would collide with the rotors, blowing them off, the second stage detaches the canopy, and the third stage shoots the seat up and activates a rocket for 2 seconds, which is more than enough to push the seat away from the Heli.

Development and history

The development was kicked off in late 2016, after the the RLGF needed a new helicopter to replace the HM-14, as its capabilities were just too limited for DWW3, and it couldn't really navigate the mountainous terrain of Ralcadia. Merîkan wan the only one to enter, as they were also the only ones that knew how to build helicopters. The first prototype was built in early 2019, and it first flew almost a year later, in the 6th of may, 2020. It also took 4 years for it to enter service, as there were a lot of issues with the flight stability.
It saw service in the tail end of DWW3, mostly in smaller tactical operations, and of course, the siege on MoneyTown.

OPERATORS

Kingdom of Los
They operate around 400, mostly in squadrons made to defend Ralcadia and Devaron.

The Azkhar State
Only around 60 is in Azkhar service, as they don't really have that much dangerous terrain, and are more so investing on aircraft and ground vehicles.
