Thames CH-06

The Thames CH-06 is a cargo helicopter in use by the armed forces of J Andres. It is manufactured by Thames Rotorcraft, a subsidiary company of Annan Enterprises, in the city of Rossingol.

Minister of War and Defense Anton Rasmussen sought to expand J Andres capabilities in the air in 2055. Annan Enterprises responded by creating a new subsidiary company, Thames Rotorcraft, named after the that between Rossingol and New London. The design for the CH-06 was created shortly thereafter and entered production in the same year.
