The SH-29 is a compact naval helicopter, designed for ship-based or land operations, able to carry 12 troops, provide fire support, or serve as a basic SAR platform. Its compact, coaxial rotor design allows it to fit inside tight hangars without the need for a folding tail or a hazardous tail rotor. It also features true twin engines, allowing increased reliability over long ocean flights.
Designed for ryu1940's ships, especially his LSD-46 which is in development! Check out his other work here for a better idea of what this helicopter is designed to work with
