TOP SECRET: this helicopter has one purpose, and one purpose only.  It is a giant jamming platform that disrupts all elecetronics and communications.  It's tail end is dedicated jamming hardware, which blocks all radio and satellite communications in a 4 square mile radius area.  The tail also houses a giant microwave emitter, which can completely disable any unshielded electronic devices, frying them out and rendering them useless.  Finally under the main body of the helicopter, are foil chaff cloud dispensers, which when released are dispersed by the helicopters rotors to cover a 400 meter area disrupting all laser emissions, be they tracking or communications.  The helicopter is extremely vulnerable to attack from above.  It gets its name from the sound made in enemy headphones when it is approaching, as the static gets worse.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:   military radio W/scrambler, satellite uplink, full visual suite, damage control, Fire extinguisher, auto-pilot, navigation systems, cybernetic linkage, military radar with terrain following, radar detector, laser communicator, "SWARM" anti-communications suite (10 spaces), "HOT FOOT" microwave emitter (7-10 chance of destroying any unshielded electronic component, range 300 meters direct, 5 spaces), CHAFF CLOUBURST x6 (2 spaces apiece)

With the deployment of the Bell-152, the US government quickly grasped the utility and economy of small one man mini-helicopters acting as perimeter patrol and defense.  However, problems with the Bell F-152 soon became apparent, most glaring of which was the operators exposure to the elements.  The military could have gone back to Bell and requested they modify the 152 to include cover for the pilot, but instead the turned to Hughes and had them design their own mini-copter, even smaller.  Thus the Locust was born.  The Navy, Coast Guard, and Marines still prefer the 152, as it is easier for a pilot to escape in case of waterbourne emergency landing, but the Army and Air Force have taken to the Locust with open arms.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:   military radio,

TOP SECRET:  Still in testing at the Skunkworks, the X-Wing helicopter is breaking even the wildest dreams for speed achieved by a helicopter.  When its clocked top speed of 460 miles per hour was anounced it was met with scepticism and outright dismissal from the military community, especially from Russia who only last year revealed their Red Eagle, and claimed the spot as fastest chopper with 300 mph.  Details are unknown, and the USAF has yet to officially unveil this aircraft, but if rumors are true, it will blow the doors off the aviation community.

This is Arasaka's standard corporate executive helicopter.  It is also the helicopter used by Arasaka covert black ops teams in urban areas.  For all appearances worth, it appears to just be a standard passenger helicopter.  However, it's "wings" conceal a pair of dual 20mm cannons and 4 AAM's, and a hatch underneath opens to reveal a rocket pod.  This means this helicopter can swoop in to any area without raising suspicion and suddenly open up with a whole barrage of firepower.  It also means that anyone foolish enough to try and force it down while it is carying an important executive is in for a very nasty surprise.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:  military radio W/scrambler, satellite uplink, damage control, Fire extinguisher, auto-pilot, navigation systems, cybernetic linkage, military radar with terrain following, radar detector, laser communicator, ECM, ECCM, Chaff and flare dispenser.

China made hundreds of these helicopters, and they look impressive, which is probably why they were able to sell so many of them in Africa, Asia, and South America.  But the truth is they are death traps.  The armor is penetrated by even small arms fire, it is under armed, and it's not fast enough to keep up with any of its contemprary attack craft.  Little wonder pilots around the world refer to it as the R.C.C. (rotor craft coffin).
