The Fahr Kohlmann ZH-82 Sparrow is a twin-engined utility tiltrotor developed and manufactured by the Zokesian rotorcraft manufacturer Fahr Kohlmann. It is projected to replace the ZH-66 Greyhawk II in army special forces and marine units, on account of its high speed and cargo capacity compared to traditional helicopters.

Operational History
The Imperial Union took first orders of ZH-82s in 2205, with around 40 being delivered. In 2214, after nearly a decade of teething troubles, the Zokesian Royal Navy, Zokesian Marine Corps, and Confederate Coast Guard all accepted the ZH-82 into service, replacing the ZH-66 Greyhawk IIs that had served for decades.

The Sparrow's folding wing allows it to fit into roughly the same parking space as a ZH-66 Greyhawk II, saving vital space aboard ships.
