**Design & Capabilities**

The BO-110C-1 will be the first utility helicopter made by Daneuberg. While installing new technology into the helicopters like the foldable blade & tailfin to reduce area consumption, state-of-the-art glass cockpit, carbon fiber for increased survivability, enhanced seat and armor, an environmental control system to be able to convert it into a flying hospital, a seperate engine thrust for maximum efficiency, a fly-by-wire, power-by-wire, fly-to-waypoint, hotbox and steerable blade somewhat like the UH-60 Blackhawk and stealth technology. It will be equipped with grappling hooks, towing cables, spotlights and other tools needed in the field whilst be able to perform other missions such as SAR, S&D, ASW and light combat duties, cleaned up the unwanted part in the insides, therefore increasing the troop capacity to 12 people.
