Sikorsky XH-61 Warhawk

119k DestinyAviation  7.1 years ago

Notes:
-The cockpit is a bit low, but I couldn't fit it anywhere else
-Two cameras inside the crew cabin, so great views all around the helicopter

Controls:
-Nothing special, but takeoff can be tricky:
-Step 1: Set VTOL down to about halfway (or more)
-Throttle up to 100%
-Step 2: Slowly (or quickly, depending on VTOL position) increase VTOL pitch (downwards) until the helicopter is flying relatively level
-Step 3: Fly around! Have fun! You are successfully flying a helicopter

History: Designed in 2007 as a future replacement for the H-60 Blackhawk, the XH-61 Warhawk was to be an upgraded version equipped with stealth capabilities. It could carry four to six fully armed Navy SEALS inside. The engine has a special device that decreased the amount of noise that it would put out depending on the altitude. The helicopter went into service in 2010, completing covert-ops missions deep in enemy territory, and so far in its (relatively) short history, not a single XH-61 (redesignated to H-101) has been lost in combat or testing. The helicopter was also used by UN and NATO forces during the Anglo-Russo conflict in 2023-2025 to evacuate refugees and important government figures from the fighting. In England, the H-101 is also called "Devil's Blessing" because of its stealth capabilities. The helicopter is still being used by several countries today, including: England, the United States, Israel*, Germany, France, Spain, and more. Israel used the helicopters to defend itself from Egyptian and Jordanian forces during the War of Sand from 2028-2031.



*I will make an Israeli version soon (includes more weapons and tactical upgrades).

    Thanks! It was hard, but I have a few tricks for something like this. What I do is a only put the pieces on one side and add to that side, then once it's done I mirror to the other. @Dllama4
