The HHG is one of the most widely producded helicopters in history. A large helicopter gunship, and low-capacity troop transport with room for 8 passengers. Originally deisgned and producded by Huvakian Helicopters the HHG-35 is now produced by United Imperial Aeronautics who continues to develop improvements for the veteran platform. The core of the aircraft is based on previous designs made by Huvakian Helicopters such as the HL-8. Two top mounted turboshaft engines drive a 17.3 m five-blade main rotor and a three-blade tail rotor. The engine configuration gave the aircraft it's distinctive double air intake. The Original producation run possessed an angular greenhouse-style cockpit. Later models feature a tandem cockpit with a "double bubble{ canapoy. Two mid-mounted stub wings provide weapon hardpoints, each offering three stations, in addition to providing lift. The loadout is typically mixed depending on mission specifications such as close air support, anti-tank opeations, aerial combat, and troop transport. The main fuselage is armored and can resist impacts from 12.7mm rounds from all angles. The titanium rotor blades are resistant as well. The cockpit is protected by ballistic-resistant windscreens and a titanium armored tub. The cockpit and crew compartment are overpressurized to protect the crew against NBC conditions.
