Which helicopter is twin-piloted and twin-engine, used for assault support and logistics, with 5,000 lbs exterior load max and being replaced by UH-1Y?

• A. AH-1Z
• B. UH-1N
• C. CH-47
• D. UH-60

Answer: (B)

This describes a helicopter designed for troop and cargo movement with two pilots and two engines, able to carry external sling loads up to about 5,000 pounds, and slated to be replaced by a newer model in the same family. That combination matches the UH-1N Huey. The UH-1N has two engines and typically requires two pilots, is used for assault support and logistics including sling-load operations, and has a 5,000-pound external-load capacity. In the USMC, the UH-1N is being replaced by the UH-1Y Venom as part of the H-1 upgrade program. The other aircraft listed don’t fit all of these criteria: the attack helicopter is built for armed missions rather than logistics and external loads; the CH-47 is a much larger heavy-lift helicopter with a far higher external-load capacity; the UH-60 is a utility helicopter not designated as the replacement in this upgrade path.
