BELL UH-1Y Venom
Description
The Bell UH-1Y Venom is a twin-engine medium size utility helicopter, part of the United States Marine Corps' H-1 upgrade program. The UH-1Y is currently in low-rate production to replace the USMC's aging fleet of UH-1N Twin Huey light utility helicopters first introduced in the early 1970s. The UH-1Y was to have been re-manufactured from UH-1Ns, but in 2005 it was approved for the aircraft to be built as new.
