Crookfur Arms is delighted to be able to make offers to fufil your requirements.

Coastal protection vessels:
Here we would offer either our Hilda patrol vessel, a smaller design inteneded for operations primarily in the inshore area or the much larger Eva class, which is designed for long endurance deep water operation. Both vessels run on alcohol turbines which generate significantly less harmful emmissions compared to any other conventional power system.
details on each can be found here:

Helcicopter Designs:
here we would offer soemthing a little bit different: Rotodynes.
For SAR and transport operations they have a much higher endurance, range and speed than any helicopter design.
For the SAR role we would recommend the CFHN23A Gannet Medium Naval Rotodyne which is capable of operating from the majority of naval veesels:

and for the transport role the much larger CFH15A Roc Heavy Lift Rotodyne which while not just quite as big as the Mi-26 is much faster and economical:

VIP transport:
Unfortunatly we do not offer any design directly comparable to the TU-154. the closest we come would be our CFU-9 Longshore (A330-200) which can be fully configured as a VIP transport and command centre.
