The 212 is a development of the UH-1H/Model 205. The main difference is replacement of the Lycoming T-53 turboshaft with a P & W Canada PT6T Turbo Twin-Pac power plant. This mates two PT6 turboshafts to a single combining gearbox. Power is significantly increased with consequent performance enhancements. Agusta of Italy has produced a large number of the Bell 212 under licence. They have developed ASW, AEW and EW versions for various customers. Under the USMC's H-1 upgrade program the UH-1Ns will receive a new four bladed rotor, a glass cockpit and two GE T700 turboshafts. After the upgrade they will be UH-1Y.
