Model Airplane Factory offers handmade CH53 Super Stallion presidential model, artistically created from the finest grade of kiln-dried Mahogany wood. After passing through several stages of sanding and priming, our talented artists paint and detail the replica with historically correct markings of the Ch53E helicopter. Multiple coats of clear lacquer is applied to protect the exquisite artwork and provide an overall glossy finish. The CH-53E Super Stallion model helicopter is supplied with a mahogany base for display.
The CH-53E and the MH-53E are the largest helicopters in the Western world, while the CH-53K now being developed will be even larger. They are third in the world to the Russian Mil Mi-26 and Mil Mi-12, which can lift more than 20 and 40 tonnes, respectively.
The CH-53E can transport up to 55 troops or 14,515 kg of cargo and has an external load lift system that allows the helicopter to carry underslung loads up to 16,330 kg. The Super Stallion has a cruise speed of 278 km/h and a maximum unrefuelled range of 2,000 km. The Super Stallion can extend its range and endurance by in flight refuelling. The helicopter is fitted with a forward extendable in-flight refuelling probe and it can also hoist hose refuel from a surface ship whilst in hover mode.
