A member of the numerous Huey family, it first flew in 1969. The CUH1N Twin Huey later CH135. UH1H Iroquois Huey Helicopter. With the success of the Bell Model 204 design a need was identified for a larger and more powerful version of this helicopter. Bell UH 1. N Twin Huey Wikipedia. The Bell UH 1. N Twin Huey is a twin engine medium military helicopter. A member of the numerous Huey family, it first flew in 1. The CUH 1. N Twin Huey later CH 1. Twin Huey was the original version, first ordered by the Canadian Forces. The UH 1. N has a fifteen seat configuration, with one pilot and fourteen passengers. In cargo configuration it has an internal capacity of 2. An external load of up to 5,0. The UH 1. N was later developed into the civil Bell 2. DevelopmenteditBased on the stretched fuselage Bell 2. Bell 2. 12 was originally developed for the Canadian Forces CF under the designation CUH 1. N Twin Huey. Later the CF adopted a new designation system and the aircraft was re designated CH 1. Twin Huey. 2 The CF approved the development of the aircraft on 1 May 1. May 1. 97. 1. 3The US military came very close to not procuring the Twin Huey. The purchase of the aircraft for US military use was opposed by the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee at the time, L. Mendel Rivers. Rivers took this position because the aircraft powerplant, the Pratt Whitney Canada PT6. T was produced in Canada. The Liberal Canadian government of the time had not supported US involvement in Vietnam and had opposed US policies in southeast Asia, as well as accepting US draft dodgers. Rivers was also concerned that procurement of the engines would result in a trade deficit situation with Canada. Congress only approved the purchase when it was assured that a US source would be found for the PT6. TT4. 00 engines. As a result, the United States military services ordered 2. Bell 2. 12s under the designation UH 1. N, with deliveries commencing in 1. Unlike in the Canadian Forces, in US service, the UH 1. N retained the official name Iroquois from the singleengine UH 1 variants, although US service personnel refer to the aircraft as a Huey or Twin Huey. The Bell 4. Bell 2. The UH 1. N has also been developed into the upgraded, four blade UH 1. Y. 5The UH 1. Ns main rotor is powered by a PT6. T 3T4. 00 Turbo Twin Pac made up of two Pratt Whitney Canada PT6 turboshaft engines that drive a single output shaft. They are capable of producing up to 1,3. W 1,8. 00 shp. Should one engine fail the remaining engine can deliver 6. W 9. 00 shp for 3. W 7. 65 shp enabling the UH 1. N to maintain cruise performance at maximum weight. The United States Marine Corps USMC modified a large number of their UH 1. Ns with a Stability Control Augmentation System SCAS which provides servo inputs to the rotor head to help stabilize the aircraft during flight. This modification removed the gyroscopic Stabilization Bar on top of the main rotor head, instead relying on the computer system for stability. Operational historyeditMilitary serviceedit. A USAF UH 1. N during Exercise Wounded Eagle 8. A Marine UH 1. N sitting on the flight line at NAS Whiting Field, Florida, in 1. From late 1. 97. 0, the UH 1. N re equipped the USAF 2. Special Operations Squadron in Vietnam, replacing the single engined UH 1. F and UH 1. P. Armed with miniguns or 4. US markings and only a Green Hornet insignia, the UH 1. N supported Special Forces reconnaissance missions from Cam Ranh Bay. The United States Air Force employs UH 1. Ns to fulfill its ICBM mission, providing a utility helicopter for transport between bases such as Minot AFB, Francis E. Warren AFB and Malmstrom AFB to missile launch sites in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado. The UH 1. N is also used by the 3. Rescue Squadron 3. RQS at Fairchild AFB, WA for conducting Search and Rescue SAR and medical evacuation missions, as well as the 4. Airlift Squadron based at Yokota Air Base in Japan. During the 1. 98. Falklands War, the Argentine Air Force deployed two Bell 2. Goose Green grass airstrip from where they performed general support duties including the recovery of many downed pilots. By the end of the hostilities both aircraft were still intact but were dismantled by the Argentinians. USMC UH 1. Ns were used by the USMC during its 2. Iraq. UH 1. Ns provided reconnaissance, and communications support to Marine ground troops. They were also called upon to provide close air support during heavy fighting in Nasiriyah. In August 2. Air Force said they were close to finalizing a plan to sustain and modernize their UH 1. Ns for the next six to ten years. The plan was to sustain the fleet, address flight and safety mandates, investigate modest improvements in capabilities, and reduce capability gaps. While the Huey is one of the oldest platforms in the service, keeping the fleet going was seen as having minimal risk. Fleet wide upgrades included night vision compatible cockpit lighting, crash worthy seats for flight engineers, and installation of a helicopter terrain awareness warning system and traffic collision avoidance device. The Air Force was also in the process of further acquiring ex Marine Corps UH 1. N models. The Marines were working out a strategy to transfer as many as 2. Air Force to either add them to their active fleet or keep them in reserve. The UH 1. N has seen combat service in the Colombian armed conflict. On 1. 6 October 2. UH 1. N helicopter crashed in the northern La Guajira department. The zone of the crash is a hotbed of FARC rebel activity. The U. S. Marine Corps planned to retire the UH 1. N Iroquois by September 2.
