Helicopters

The Marine Corps plans to upgrade its K-MAX unmanned cargo helicopters to improve its ability to autonomously deliver gear.

The U.S. Army's top officials on Tuesday had to defend the service's decision to stop buying CH-47 Chinook helicopters.

A second helicopter was requested from Kodiak -- 600 miles away -- after the malfunction was detected.

Maj. Matthew M. Wiegand, 34, and Capt. Travis W. Brannon, 30, died in the crash, Marine officials said Monday.

The pilots were flying an AH-1Z Viper helicopter.

ARC-231A are "software-defined" so they can be rapidly updated without requiring the radio to be removed from the aircraft.

Coast Guard helicopter 1432 was 180 miles southeast of Cape Cod when it inexplicably dropped into the sea and flipped over.

The Sikorsky-Boeing SB>1 Defiant helicopter program will miss its first scheduled tests due to "minor technical issues."
