CH-49 Mohawk

The CH-49 Mohawk was designed for use as a "Medium-Lift" Cargo transport helicopter by the AAF. It found usage on Altis with the civilian population as an entry level cargo helicopter as the only other legal cargo transport helicopter is the very expensive CH-67 Huron.

Overview

The Mohawk found extensive use with the civilians of Altis for cargo operations and also, to some extent, as a passenger transport helicopter due to its high capacity and fairly cheap price when compared to a Huron.

  • Roles:
    • Passenger Transport
    • Cargo Transport

Design

The Mohawk is a triple-engine helicopter with decent armour around the frame of the helicopter. Due to the triple engine setup and very bulky air frame the Mohawk is considerably less manoeuvrable when compared to the other commercially available helicopters. Notably, the design incorporated a tail rotor that is positioned much higher than normal to prevent damage on landing.

Features

  • Armouring across the air frame
  • Countermeasure launchers
  • Large passenger / Cargo section
