Bounce Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 anyone have some specific types, names, model#s I could start seeking online for examples of armor on helo? I've found some external composite armor for Mi-17 online but am wanting american bell,boeing, sikorsky pictures of rivet structure, mounting points and other visual points I could duplicate. thanks!

11bee Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 That's a broad subject. Not sure if you will find much. Most US helos don't have scabbed on armor like the Hip does. Armor typically consists of plates around the pilots seats and add-on floor and interior sidewall panels for troop carrying ships. Maybe also a few armor panels inside the engine cowling around vulnerable areas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The ACH-47As had some bolted on armor on the outsides. But that´s all stuff that´s roughly 50 years old... HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
