Revision as of 06:37, 9 April 2019
The WY-55 Hellcat was initially designed and operated as a Multi-Role Utility Helicopter for the AAF forces. Surplus helicopters quickly found themselves pressed into use by Civilians, Poseidon and Police alike, not due to their multi-role nature but due to the fact every Hellcat came fitted with a powerful thermal imaging camera making them great for recon purposes.

- Roles:
- Recon
- Transport
Design
The Hellcat is a twin-engine helicopter with decent armour around the frame of the helicopter. The weight of the armour and extra engine has heavily reduced it manoeuvrability when compared to an MH-9 or PO-30 however the front based thermal imaging camera has more than made up for these drawbacks.
Features
- Armouring across the air frame
- Countermeasure launchers
- Thermal Imaging Camera
Notable Traits
- Powerful Thermal Imaging Camera with a very very good range.
- Fitted with a winch the Hellcat is able to slingload the following:
Mobility
- Due to the extra weight the hellcat is not very manoeuvrable at high speed
- The engines can take time to respond to inputs - Planning ahead is important
Crew Capacity
- The Hellcat can carry a maximum of 8 people - 2 Crew and 6 Passengers
