[[File:Cobra.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Cobra in action.]]The Developers at [http://alphashangar.co.nr/ Alpha-J's Hangar] have started making the Bell AH-1 Cobra. Development is going well and can be tracked [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10130 here.] The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a two-bladed, single engine attack helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It shares a common engine, transmission and rotor system with the older UH-1 Iroquois. The AH-1 is also referred to as the HueyCobra or Snake.

HHS started to make the AW139, an italian midclass helicopter in use in many countries like the Netherlands, Spain, Italia, Ireland and Japan.  

This work has been started due to the fact that above-average number of datas about the flightdynamic has been found, and the systems are very similar like to other new helicopters like the EC130 B4.  

So you can expect another accurate helicopter next year. As special feature it is planed to simulate the 4-axis autopilot as accurate as possible.
