|} The Bell UH-1Y Venom (also called Super Huey) is a twin-engine medium size utility helicopter, part of the United States Marine Corps' H-1 upgrade program. The helicopter is also called Yankee for its variant letter, Y. The UH-1Y is currently in full-rate production to replace the USMC's aging fleet of UH-1N Twin Huey light utility helicopters first introduced in the early 1970s. The UH-1Y was to have been remanufactured from UH-1Ns, but in 2005 it was approved for the aircraft to be built as new.

- The Y-model Huey has upgraded features like a glass cockpit, further safety modifications and a modern FLIR system. However, an increase in engine power is the biggest improvement. This is due to the replaced engines and the new four-bladed rotor system. The UH-1Y will retain its natural role of utility for which it was designed. The UH-1Y therefore has more power to maneuver and so ground forces commanders riding in the Y-model will have radios, firepower and the range to match the transport helicopters carrying their troops. The UH-1Y is a versatile and effective aircraft with many adaptable features.
