The story within the Westland Puma helicopter

Contemporary designs since that time on the Puma's first flight on 15 April 1965 have for many years been retired from service but as each new generation brings out new and innovative solutions the Puma helicopter continually adapt. Background of your long serving military medium lift helicopter starts back towards a French Army requirement on the late 1950's. Having a required a twin engined medium helicopter able to deliver a troop of fully armed soldiers into hostile terroritory effectively. Furthermore the plan had to be <a href=http://www.asmara.nl/aj6.html>ナイキ スニーカー 人気</a> rugged enough to use punishment from small arms fire and also operate day or night in the huge selection of climates in the Arctic North within the tropics, no mean feat for one single variety of engine.

In 1967 the British and French Governments opted for build three varieties of military helicopters thus to their respective soldiers, these types were the Lynx, the Gazelle also, the Puma. The British putting the Puma into service using the Royal Air Force with their troop transport and recconaisance roles. Altogether 697 Puma's of most variants have been internal France and The united kingdom at Westland helicopters in Yoevil in Somerset and they will carry on and operate for a few years in the future. The British fleet, however, tend to be heavily utilised during the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and their airframe lifes are employed <a href=http://www.asmara.nl/ug7.html>http://www.asmara.nl/ug7.html</a> up rapidly. A service life extension program maybe expected to replace these <a href=http://www.asmara.nl/aj6.html>http://www.asmara.nl/aj6.html</a> vital and valuable military helicopter assets.

The basic Mark One Puma design, as has long been mentioned already, has shown us great potential in becoming upgraded and stretched to suit new and emerging mission profiles. Consequently The Super Puma has almost twice the power of the possible One design and longer range and convenience of troop transportation.

Of this 697 samples of the Puma helicopter built many are exported globally as new build or as old sales through the French Army and British Air Force with examples flying as far afield as Albania, Argentina, Mexico, Nigeria Africa and even in the high mountainous terrain of Nepal.
