This briefing is from file A56-7W. Classified Top Secret. Subject is, Airwolf. A Mach 1+ attack helicopter with the most advanced weapons system in the air today. It's been hidden somewhere on Kerbin by it's test pilot Jebfellow Kerman. Kerman has promised to return Airwolf only if we can find his brother, St. Bob, an MIA in Kerbitnam. We suspect that Archangel, deputy director of the agency that built Airwolf is secretly helping Jebfellow in return for Jebfellow flying Airwolf on missions of national concern.
Jebfellow is 34, a brilliant combat pilot. His only friend is Bill Kerman, who's air service is the cover for their government work.
With Jebfellow and Bill working as a team and flying at speeds rivalling the fastest jets, backed by unmatched firepower, Airwolf is too dangerous to be left in unenlightened hands. Finding it is your first priority.
I recently rediscovered one of my childhood favorites and wanted to try building Airwolf in KSP as a result. I think I mostly nailed the general appearance and most of the capabilities of the titular aircraft…with the exception of going supersonic. As it turns out a helicopter, no matter how well balanced just doesn’t work well near Mach speeds. Retreating blade stall is actually a thing Kerbal Space Program models to some extent.
While my initial prototype is unarmed, I managed to give the armed version equipment similar to the show with hidden guns, missiles, countermeasures and targeting equipment. It’s also very agile, despite being slightly larger than an Mi-24 Hind. As it turns out, packing all that gear requires a fuselage substantially larger than the comparatively petite Bell 222 Jet Ranger the show’s aircraft was modified from.
The Airwolf Theme was composed by Sylvester Levay.

This is a re-re-upload to fix artifact scaling and audio as much as I can.
