ABOUT PRODUCT SW210
The SWFA SW210 Modernization Program is the only FAA/CAA approved and supported U.S. Military UH-1H performance upgrade available today. The SWFA SW210 combines commercial 212/412 dynamic components with the reliable Honeywell converted engine, leading to an increase in hover performance in hot conditions. In addition, the SWFA SW210 upgrade increases the maximum gross weight to 11,200 lbs., while lowering direct operating costs. Along with the SWFA SW210 kit installation, SWFA refurbishes the U.S. Military UH-1H basic airframe to original military specifications and standards, provides a complete rewire, updates the avionics and offers a comprehensive selection of mission specific kits and customization. So, whether your mission is troop transport into high altitudes, medical evacuation in hot conditions, SAR, EMS, or transport to and from remote bases, choose the SWFA SW210.

TROOP TRANSPORT AND INSERTION
Look no further than the SWFA SW210 for troop transport needs. With aft cabin seating for 11 passengers or 15 passengers in high density seating, the SWFA SW210 works as diligently and reliably as the troops do. This medium lift helicopter has a large flat, reconfigurable floor area for multimission cargo needs. Multiple structural fittings and hard points allow for flexibility in seating arrangements and attachment of equipment to meet transport and cargo operations. The SWFA SW210 has the space and the lifting capacity to get the job done.
AIR AMBULANCE
The SWFA SW210 was built on a strong history in emergency life-threatening situations. The cabin sliding door and panel door on each side of the fuselage provide unobstructed openings 6.16 ft wide by 4.1 ft high (1.87 m wide by 1.24 m high). Its cabin can carry up to 6 litters. The wire-strike protection system is designed to offer a proven measure of protection against horizontally strung mechanical, electrical and communication wires and cables. When you are the help on the way, the SW210 provides greater capacity enabling faster mission accomplishment.
SEARCH AND RESCUE
For search and rescue missions, the SWFA SW210 provides a stable hover platform with excellent fore & aft center of gravity tolerance and lateral stability. Large 6.16 ft/1.87 m wide door openings enable easy cabin access and room to maneuver for hoist operations. Single-engine fuel efficiency allows for greater search time and range. Optional auxiliary fuel tanks increase the standard search range capability. When you need to search, look no further than the SW210.
PARAPUBLIC
The SWFA SW210 was built for the parapublic mission. With special operational equipment available, the aircraft can be configured to meet your mission needs: command & control, patrol, firefighting and tactical insertion/extraction. The fuselage features multiple structural fittings and hard points, two swing-out jettisonable crew doors and two aft cabin sliding doors with two emergency exit panels on each door. The sliding doors latch open for in-flight operations. Two swing-out doors allow extended access to aft cabin. These features keep the team safe so that they can keep the public safe.
FLEXIBLE
A wide array of kits and customizing can be added to the SW210 to suit your specific mission needs, whether you fly transport, cargo, air ambulance, fire suppression, or parapublic operations. Standard equipment includes a wire-strike protection system, new fuel cells, inlet barrier filter and NVG compatibility. Other options include cargo hook, hoisting options with internal and external capability, and armor options.
DIRECT MAINTENANCE COSTS LOWERED
Compared to the standard U.S. Military UH-1H, the SW210 decreases your direct maintenance costs in excess of 29% while increasing your operational readiness rates. The utilization of 212/412 components enhance parts availability. Compared to the U.S. Military UH-1H, service life improvement for most components (main rotor mast, hub assembly, engine, transmission, gearboxes, rotor blades, etc.) is improved by more than 250%.
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL INTERIOR
The multi-mission capable interior of the SW210 has seating for 12 passengers with one pilot and up to 15 passengers in high density seating. Four large cabin windows enable ample visibility during SAR missions. Cabin doors may be pinned open to extend viewing capability and provide excellent access during hoist operations. The cabin’s large, flat floor has multiple structural fittings and hard points for flexible seating arrangements and attachment of equipment to meet your multi-mission needs.
