The Transport Helicopter is a multi-purpose aircraft deployed by ZAFT, introduced in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
ZAFT's multi-purpose rotary-wing aircraft used for ground communications, patrols, transport, and rescue operations. The aircraft is propelled by the two large rotors and four axuiliary nozzles. Its most distinctive feature is its lower fuselage floats, which gave it the ability to take off and land on water. This amphibious capability is a necessary requirement, since ZAFT based its naval strength primarily on submarines.
History[]
After the Second Equatorial Skirmish, one transport helicopter was piloted by Nicol Amalfi to search for Athrun Zala, who was lost on a deserted island. While another unit was used to retrieve Athrun Zala from Orb Union's Albatross following the Battle of the Marshall Islands.[1]
