ABOUT PRODUCT SW205T
The SWFA SW205T Modernization Program is the only FAA/CAA approved and supported U.S. Military UH-1H performance upgrade available today. The SWFA SW205T 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 SW205T upgrade increases the maximum gross weight to 12,500 lbs, while lowering direct operating costs. Along with the SWFA SW205T 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 or transport to and from remote bases, choose the SWFA SW205T.

Features
FLEXIBLE
A wide array of kits and customizing can be added to the SW205T 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 SW205T decreases your direct maintenance costs in excess of 20% 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 SW205T 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.
FAA/CAA APPROVED UPGRADE
Twin Honeywell engine upgrade package increases shaft horsepower with Twin 1,400 shp/1,044 kW or Twin 1,800 shp/1,342 kW. This certified upgrade extends the TBO from 2,400 hrs to 5,000 hrs, providing significant maintenance cost savings. True helicopter safety with one engine inoperative due to inherent design to be operated with single engine. No combining gearbox needed which does not increase aircraft empty weight similar to the Bell 212.
ENHANCED SAFETY FEATURES
Designed and built with safety in mind, the SW205T is equipped with a variety of safety features including: proven reliable engines, transmission with chip detection and debris collection, superb autorotation, rollover bulkheads, new rupture-resistant fuel cells, wirestrike protection, push-out passenger windows, and quick release jettisonable crew doors.
PARAPUBLIC
The SWFA SW205T 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.
