TH3M1 Poporo II

The Poporo II is a replacement of the original Poporo helicopter as a medium lift transport and utility helicopter. The new design features a window mounted machine gun and the wing stubs can mount gun pods and rockets. The helicopter features a large sliding door for use as a utility helicopter while also having a rear ramp door for unloading heavy cargo. The helicopter opted to use a NOTAR design for improved safety for loading and off loading cargo near the tail area. The Poporo II is piloted by a crew of two with an optional seat for two more for the window gunners in its cargo transport configuration. The glass cockpit design improves the ergonomics and lessens the workload of the pilots. Additionally, the large windshield giving the pilots extremely good visibility. Although harder to fly than the Sylphid and Wadjet; it was still well regarded by the pilots.
