AH-26WNG enters service

The first brand new AH-26WNG has been delivered to the HCSAF, the first of around 100 to be built for the service in this batch. The navy will also be receiving SH-26WNGs at some stage though a delivery date has yet to be set. A transport version for the air force (CH-26WNG) is also in development though hasn't been ordered yet (though the AH version can be used for transport anyway).

The WNG includes the engine, avionics and computer architecture from the cancelled AH-26X project though it's hull and main structure is the same as the W model. A further uprated version is in development for the mid-part of the decade.
