superlynx300

The Super Lynx 300 ASW/ASuW is the latest generation of the leading multi-role, multi-mission maritime and utility aircraft from AgustaWestland. The Lynx was the world's first fully aerobatics helicopter. It is designed with a side by side cockpit for the pilot and observer. It features a large sliding crew on each side giving access to the cabin which can be used to accommodate up to 9 equipped troops dependent on seating configuration, or alternatively radio equipment when used in the command post role or surplus fuel for long journeys.

It's twin Rolls-Royce Gem turbo-shaft engines power a four-blade semi-rigid main rotor system. The Super Lynx 300 is an evolution of the highly successful Lynx helicopter. This purpose-built military aircraft with fully marinised airframe is designed with small ships operations in mind and benefits from a low centre of gravity, blade and tail fold together with excellent cross and tail wind operations envelopes. With it's fully Night Vision Google (NVG) compatible cockpit, integrated avionics suite and wide selection of optional equipment, the aircraft delivers a night/day, all-weather capability for Tactical (Anti-Submarine, Anti-surface), Search and Rescue (SAR) or utility support missions.
