The Fahr Kohlmann ZH-60 Greyhawk is a Zokesian utility and attack helicopter.

Development

The Confederacy of Kolus put out a design requirement in 2163 for a personell and cargo transport helicopter, to compliment the larger MZ-22-4 Albatross and ZH-53 Super Erol allready in service. While both the Albatross and Super Erol could carry heavy equipment, light vehicles and troops, they were too large to operate on all but the biggest fleet carriers, and could not operate as ASW platforms for the navy or close-air support for the Army. The H-33 Newt, on the other hand, was sufficient for battlefield support but was too small to carry cargo or personell and was lacking in range. The Confederate High Command issued a design requirement for a 8-seat, 20 ton cargo helicopter with 100km range and loiter time of 2 hours.

Design

The ZH-60 was developed in the late 2160s to meet the need for smaller, more intermediate helicopters for the Confederacy, Fahr Kohlmann created a twin-engine electro-turbine helicopter which could operate at range and carry useful cargo to and from forward bases.
