A method of converting an existing helicopter airframe, such as a UH-1H/V or a UH-1D, to a special purpose use such as, for example, a gunship or a firefighter, and a helicopter constructed thereby. The process takes a conventional, multi-passenger, helicopter from a primary design use to a second,
A method of converting an existing helicopter airframe, such as a UH-1H/V or a UH-1D, to a special purpose use such as, for example, a gunship or a firefighter, and a helicopter constructed thereby. The process takes a conventional, multi-passenger, helicopter from a primary design use to a second, un-anticipated use after the primary function has ceased. The invention converts the helicopter from a dual-piloted, multi-passenger aircraft to a helicopter gunship flown by a single operator/pilot. Modifying the aircraft involves stripping the entire shell from the basic boxlike airframe, removing all of the equipment and accessories, and re-assembling the aircraft with a slimmer profile, reduced weight, and improved performance.

A special purpose helicopter conversion of a UH-1H/V and/or UH-1D helicopter, a dual piloted, multi-passenger airframe, power train, and engine, for providing greatly enhanced performance, payload, speed and maneuverability, said helicopter comprising: a boxlike airframe structure reduced in size and shape from a dual piloted, multi-passenger helicopter, to a single pilot configuration with an aft cabin, said airframe structure having a vertical tower section and a nose section, a pair of longitudinal members connecting said vertical tower section to said nose area, said structure providing a lighter weight, narrower airframe than said dual-piloted, multi-passenger UH-1H/V and/or UH-D airframe for mounting exterior surfaces and all other equipment, including the engine and transmission, landing skids, tail boom, fuel system, electrical system, and flight controls and equipment, a single pilot\s seat, a single flight control system, and a single flight instrument panel, mounted on said airframe, an engine, transmission, rotor and controls and accessories mounted on said vertical tower section, new, reduced profile, nose area, vertical ribs and horizontal spars affixed to said airframe, an exterior skin and cabin sides, glass panels, swingout, jettisonable doors, swingout panels for access to an aft cabin, hinged service access covers, and all other accessories and equipment required for the intended mission, installed on said boxlike airframe structure, and a standard design tailboom and rotor attached to said airframe, whereby a highly successful helicopter airframe, power train, and engine are converted to provide greatly enhanced performance, payload, speed and maneuverability.
