Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!

As a helicopter, surely it has Gyroscope on it which might be considered invalid for PEA crafts. But exclusively for helicopters, it is still fine at all, isn't it?


The AgustaWestland AW101 is a medium-lift helicopter in military and civil use. First flown in 1987, it was developed by a joint venture between Westland Helicopters in the United Kingdom and Agusta in Italy in response to national requirements for a modern naval utility helicopter. Several operators, including the armed forces of Britain, Denmark, and Portugal, use the name Merlin for their AW101 aircraft. It is manufactured at factories in Yeovil, England, and Vergiate, Italy. Licensed assembly work has also taken place in Japan and the United States.

The Merlin HM2 variant is the enhanced version of the British Royal Navy's deck anti-submarine warfare helicopter. Avionics and sonar retrofit.

    @LunarEclipseSP would love to cite Chii once again:
    "as along as the part is below 96, is aite; hell, most of my recent builds contain gyroscopes either for stabling or pylon turning, and oddly enough, most of my helicopters don't use them, save for the heavyweights like Mi-26 and the HLH because otherwise they just flip they shtoof"

    @Monarchii look mate, as a helicopter, surely it has Gyroscope on it which might be considered invalid for PEA crafts. But exclusively for helicopters, it is still fine at all, isn't it? I saw your PEA helicopters and VTOL crafts such as AV-8B Harrier II and it has Gyro on it, and hey, at least this isn't even exceeding 96 parts though. So is this still valid?
