The Elias Aerospace Corporation is proud to unveil its latest helicopter which once again demonstrates our ingenuity and technological capabilities. The EA-28 is a helicopter designed to meet a requirement from the Elias Air Force for a combat scout and a light utility helicopter. It is an ideal replacement for OH-58 ‘Kiowa’ and OH-6 ‘Little Bird’ types that serve in many armed services around the world.
The helicopters basic airframe is extremely flexible and can be used for a variety of different roles.

Features (All versions)

The Most notable feature of the design is the NOTAR anti-torque system which eliminates the need for a tail rotor improving survivability and making ground operations safer for both the aircraft and people on the ground. The modular structure incorporates other crashworthy and damage-tolerant features, including a five-bladed, bearing less main rotor. The fuselage is mainly of aluminium-lithium construction. The aerodynamic rotor blades are constructed from carbon/glass with nomex honeycomb and rohacell foam. Active vibration control of the structural response uses a vibration-cancelling technique.

The helicopter operates in temperatures ranging from -20 to +50 degrees C. An ice protection system allows operation in icing conditions. An engine inlet particle separator system provides protection in sandy environments. Durable, light weight skids made of composite materials permit operation from soft or rough terrain. The unique design of the helicopter allows it to land in small clearings and other confined areas where most other helicopters would not be able to.

The cockpit is equipped with armoured crew seats able to withstand an impact velocity of 35ft per second. Dual flight controls are provided for the pilot and co-pilot, but the helicopter is capable of and is designed to be flown by a single pilot. The electronic instrument system includes four high-definition full-colour displays, together with a digital mission map (military versions only), the controls feature 70% commonality with the much larger EA-24 helicopter to simplify the amount of training needed to change type. Every version except the EA-28A is equipped with a FLIR mounting and is cleared for full night time operation.

Every Version can accommodate an under slung external load of up to 3,500lb

All military Versions can be fitted with steel benches above the weapon hardpoints for a maximum of three persons on each side.

All helicopter versions can be upgraded with a full protection suite of Electronic counter measures, chaff/flare dispensers. $120,000 (standard on some versions)

Specifications applicable to all versions:

Powerplants: 2 EPE-16B turboshafts producing 745 shp each.

Performance:

Cruising speed: 145 knots.
Max Speed: 160 knots
Max Range: 395 nautical Miles (approx. endurance 3 h 36 min)

Alternatively in a medevac role it can accommodate up to two stretchers and a medical attendant. In a maritime role it can be used for vertical replensihment of ships at sea, coastal patrol or in support of diving operations.

-EA-28E law Enforcement Version 5.2 million
Crew: 1 Pilots + 1 Pilot/Observer. Capacity: 6. Features: Search light thermal imaging TV camera, loudhailer system.

The EA-28E is the perfect chopper for most Police operations, especially in urban areas due to its manoeuvrability and ability to land in confined spaces, togther with long endurance.

-EA-28F Search and Rescue Version 5.5 million
Crew: 1 Pilots + 1 Pilot/Observer. Capacity: 6. Features: Search light thermal imaging TV camera, loudhailer system, rescue winch, medical equipment, emergency flotation bags.

-EA-28G Light Attack/Special Forces Helicopter. 6.8 million
Crew: 1 Pilots + 1 Pilot/Observer. Capacity: 6 Armament: two/four hardpoints for either gun pods, free flight rocket pods or sets of four air to ground or air to air missiles. Features: Armour plated cockpit and passenger compartment, advanced electronics and sensors, full countermeasures suite, IR protective coating and sound dampening.

[i]This is an upgraded ‘C’ Version with an emphasis on armour, armament and other protection systems. This version also features a sensor pod mounted just forward of the main rotor, above the cockpit and includes: A 12x Magnification TV Camera, an auto focusing thermal imaging camera and a laser rangefinder/designator with automatic target tracking and bore sighting allowing the helicopter not only to guide anti-tank missiles such as Hellfire but also to designate targets for other aircraft. This version is ideal for leading attack helicopter formations, combat scouting deep into enemy territory or special forces insertion /extraction particularly in urban assault/jungle missions due to its manoeuvrability and ability to land in confined spaces

Medical Conversion Kit (MCK). 140,000
The Medical Conversion Kit is necessary to convert the above versions into a medevac or air ambulance helicopter. It may be used on all versions and the cabin can be converted in under two hours or coverted back into its standard from in less than an hour.

Its not often you see such a small helicopter carry troops like that.

Well I guess you could put a bench over the rockets and have guys sitting on the outside like on the Little Bird. Maybe I should put that in the post.

that would rule all

And inside those you could carry MORE troops.

So you could have 2 guys on the benches and 6 inside, then the 2 hop off, along with 4 inside, and you have the last two hop onto the bench.

Ultimate helo.
