seeking pics of external helo armor; panels/plates...


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
