Chizh-LZ-07


" Chizh-LZ-07 or Siskin LZ7 It is the world's first ship-attack helicopter and was one of the pioneers of the Helicopter Revolution in the 1930s."


" Description: The Chizh-LZ-07 is a Ship and Submarine attack helicopter designed in the early 1930's by the Government of Zima, the helicopter has twin engines with the propellers counter-rotating between them, it is very light weighing 3 Tons and can take up to two Torpedoes of 113 Kg on the sides, in addition to being able to reach speeds of up to 200 km/h at lower altitudes, but it is not an easy helicopter to fly, requiring a lot of strength and skill to control it not to mention the fuel that is consumed very quickly due to the small size and it's two 392HP Rotor-Engines. "

" In addition to the armament, the Siskin has a very simple and even ergonomic Cockpit, and it was necessary to pile up a part under the helicopter floor to accommodate more fuel, in addition, the rear landing gear can be lifted in flight to slightly reduce the aerodynamic drag caused by it. And the helicopter has a Short-Medium Range Sonobuoy to locate submarines at certain depths. And the helicopter can accommodate up to 4 crew members including a pilot and a co-pilot and two passengers, and in certain cases up to three passengers. "


*" And because it is the first helicopter in Zima and probably even in the world, for now it has not been tested in real combat but probably in the future it will be tested. "

" Probable variations of the Helicopter from a troop/cargo transport version or even to attack ground troops will probably be created in the future but for now only the naval version will be available. "
