214B, nice machine, but only one engine. 2950 shp derated to 1850 continuous. Max Gross wt 13800lbs loaded internally, or 16000 with a hook load. Max I have had on the hook was 7200lbs, at 1500', OAT 23C. Will cruise at 140kts, and it is possible to got through VNE if the blades are tracked and tabbed correctly. Good old nodal beam suspension. S61, the hook is cleared for 8000lbs, but the most I have personally carried is only around half of that, due to the aircraft fit. She starts to grumble a little at max gross with no wind, too, before you get to translational.
