The Mullen Skeeter Eagle is a helicopter in Just Cause 2.
Appearance[]
The Mullen Skeeter Eagle is essentially a Mullen Skeeter Hawk with jet engines on the side; it shares the same body and tail as the Hawk. It also shares its body with the UH-10 Chippewa.
The extra wings and side engines are a feature that were in reality first used in 1962 on the experimental Lockheed XH-51, which had then excellent performance.
It is made by the fictional Mullen Company.
It spawns in light green, red, orange, purple and greyish white, like many sports cars in the game.
Performance[]
The Eagle is slower than most helicopters, but handles just as well as others. It isn't very strong and won't take any impact.
Because the wings and the engines make the helicopter wider and heavier, this helicopter should not be used in narrow or tight spaces, such as between buildings, or under certain bridges, where its cousin, the Mullen Skeeter Hawk, with its lack of wings, fares better. Because of its mediocre durability, a single crash in these situations may destroy it or completely dent it.
This helicopter is actually slower than the Mullen Skeeter Hawk, even though it has jet engines. This could be an oversight by the game developers.
Locations[]
- On the tops of skyscrapers in Panau City.
- Docks district - X:1110; Y:14095.
- Other districts contain a lot more.
- At the first stronghold of every faction. These are all green-marked.
- Pekan Tupai Merah. Red-marked.
- Lembah Delima. Red-marked.
- Unique desert-camouflaged versions, almost identical to the desert UH-10 Chippewa, albeit without the miniguns, can be found at the top of several mansions scattered around the Lautan Lama Desert (the exact locations of these mansions needs verifying).
- One can be found atop a large house in Tasik Permata, at X:4440; Y:22280 in military tan camo.
- Spawns at a small, unmarked village east of Kepulauan Selatan Eta, at X:26465; Y:28750.
- A unique military jungle camouflage version at the airfield of Kampung Lembah Danau. Red-marked.
- Unnamed settlement at X:26460; Y:28800.
- A red version is used by the Reapers in Death from Above. It is green-marked, but inaccessible to the player, even after the mission.
Trivia[]
- The experimental Lockheed XH-51 was a successful design with good performance. It had a then very unusual rotor design, which required wings for stability at high speed. The helicopter design was considered great and much faster than usual helicopters, but it was also so much more expensive that nearly nobody was interested in ordering helicopters with this configuration from Lockheed. It ended up developed into the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne prototype attack helicopter, which despite excellence, was cancelled due to military politics.
