OH-1 Kogata Kansoku

Notes: This Japanese helicopter was designed to replace the OH-6 in the service of that country. It is similar in appearance to the Mangusta, but smaller, with a fenestron tail rotor (the rotor is in the tail). It is a light helicopter built mostly of composites. The combat system is computer-controlled and fully integrated. The aircraft has no ejection seats and is not capable of in-flight refueling.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The OH-1 entered low-rate production in 1997, and full rate production did not begin until 1998, so it is rather rare.
