Tomahawk (G.I. Joe)

Tomahawk (G.I. Joe)

The G.I. Joe Tomahawk is a fictional all-weather, twin-engine, twin-rotor heavy lift/assault as well as troop carrier helicopter from the series of toys, comics and animated series produced by Hasbro. It has a top speed of 175 mph when fully loaded. Its turboshaft engine is fitted with heat/noise reduction and layered with bulletproof covering. It is armed with 6 x 250 lb. freefall "dumb" bombs, 2 x air to ground missile which can also be used for air to air engagements, crew-operated laser enhanced night vision system .50 calibre machine guns on each side, and a six-barreled 20mm cannon mounted under the nose.

The toy version offers seating for a pilot, co-pilot and removable seating for five passengers. The toy comes with the Joe action figure pilot Lift-Ticket.

While not identical, the Tomahawk is similar in design to the Marine CH-46 Sea Knight and the Army CH-47 Chinook. The comic book version is more realistic in design. There are no seats, but it can carry a passenger capacity of 10. Because of its primary purpose of carrying troops in and out of enemy territory, it became one of the most heavily used G.I. Joe vehicles.
