1. Bell certified a civil
version of the UH-1B
incorporating some minor
safety improvements, such as
improved door locks. What was
the civilian aircraft
marketed as?

2. True or False, the UH-1C
was specifically developed as
a gunship version until the
"interim" attack helicopter,
the Bell AH-1G Huey Cobra was
available and to correct the
deficiencies of the UH-1B when
it was used in the armed role.
The "Charlie" model was fitted
with the 1,100 shp (820 kW)
T53-L-9 or L-11 engine to
provide the power needed to
lift the weapons systems in
use or under development at
the time.

3. The earlier "short-body"
Hueys were a success,
especially in the gunship
role, but lacked the cabin
space to be an effective troop
transport. The US Army wanted
a version that could carry a
crew of four (two pilots and
two door gunners) and also
deliver an infantry section of
eight-ten soldiers. Bell's
solution was to stretch the
UH-1B fuselage by 41 inches
and use the extra space to fit
two sideways-facing seats on
either side of the
transmission. This brought the
total seating capacity to 15,
including crew seats. What was
this version?
