Wiki History Listing


V1 An attack [[helicopter]] that combined the proven twin-bladed rotor, engine, and drive train of Bell's [[UH-1 Iroquois]] with a new slimline fuselage. It came in two main variants, the single-engine HueyCobra and the twin-engined SeaCobra (and later SuperCobra), the latter having a wider engine compartment. The AH-1 had a crew of two in tandem, with the gunner seated in front and pilot in the back.

Fixed armament included a chin-mounted turret armed with either [[machine gun|machine guns]], grenade projectors, or a single 20mm multibarrel [[cannon]]. Stub wings on either side of the fuselage could carry additional armament, such as [[rocket|rockets]] and TOW anti-tank [[missile|missiles]].
