 No. 5: Oh-6 Cayuse
Manufacturer: Hughes Helicopters and McDonnell Douglas Type: Light Observation and Attack Helicopter Powerplant: Allison T63-A-5a Turboshaft Principal Armament: Two 7.62-mm Machine Guns and two 70-mm Rocket Pods Carrying Capacity: Four Armed Troops Maximum Cruising Speed: 137 mph The teardrop-shaped OH-6 Cayuse was a small, sturdy helicopter with very low drag. Nicknamed the "Flying Egg," it could perform maneuvers that would leave other choppers in a spin. But being nimble means that this bird can't carry much weight, losing it marks for versatility. The Cayuse can carry a diversity of weapons, but on that small frame only a few can be taken on any single flight. Helicopter Puzzles More Top Tens
