Noting the efficiency gained in a tandem rotor configuration by negating the tail rotor, while also trying to address the miriad broken landing gear on CH-47s used in air assaults, the fine folks at Boeing decided to develop a smaller tandem rotor helicopter with enhanced landing gear. The Mini Assault Hook can carry 16 combat laden troops in the highest and hottest conditions. It can also take a beating and is well suited for quick and dirty landings with four massive force attenuating struts. Approximately 60% throttle for hovering. forward flight can be assisted with AG1 and VTOL up. Trim closes the ramp. No armament or extra details as it was already beating up my old tablet. Will likely make improvements when able to download on my computer.
