Bell UH-1N Twin Huey :
Bell flew the first twin-engined Huey in April 1965, calling it the Model 208. It was powered by a Continental XT67 twin-pack engine module. The Canadian government provided the incentive for Bell to continue development of the Twin Huey using Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T twin-pack engine. The project attracted orders from the Canadian Forces, US Marine Corps, US Navy and USAF, but not the US Army.
The new aircraft was designated UH-1N Iroquois in US service and CUH-1N Twin Huey in Canadian Forces use. The Canadian designation was later changed to CH-135 Twin Huey. There was an HH-1N version produced for the USAF as a base rescue helicopter and for use by the 20th Special Operations Squadron in the counter-insurgency role using the call sign Green Hornet. Some Marine Corps UH-1Ns were converted to VH-1Ns as VIP transports, including six for presidential use.
The UH-1N was widely produced and exported to a large number of countries and license-built by Agusta in Italy. Bell certified a civil version as the Model 212 in October 1970.
