The Obbscon Company IH-12 Funbee is a light attack and reconnaissance helicopter in service with the Ikonic Air Force. It is heavily relied upon by the IAF for a wide variety of mission profiles, including insertion and extraction missions, medevac, and providing fire support to troops. A naval variant, the IH-12N Seabee, is in service with the Ikonic Navy.

Design

The IH-12 uses two counter-rotating rotors to achieve lift, negating the need for a tail rotor. It is powered by two Obbscon Company SR125 turbine engines which propel it to a top speed of 163 mph (263 km/h). The IH-12 is exceptionally light and agile, enabling it to land almost anywhere.
