| A history of your Westland Lynx helicopter
The Westland Lynx military helicopter has been part of the mainstay on the British Armed Forces for nearly four decades and contains served in each and every combat situation successive British Governments happen to be included in since its introduction.
The development the Lynx helicopter began with a transaction regarding the British and French Governments in 1966 that two nations had similar plans for military helicopters for any French Army and Navy and also British Army and Royal Navy. In truth continuing growth of the WG3 design have been occurring at Westland helicopters at Yoevil in Somerset since 1963. From the many years quite a lot <a href=http://carwashusa.nl/Dbase/ugg.html>http://carwashusa.nl/Dbase/ugg.html</a> of initial design work appeared to be completed.
The bigovernmental agreement involving the French and British Governments saw the 2 main major nations develop three types of military helicopters to replace the ageing and obsolete machines then in service. The helicopters under development were the Lynx multi role machine, the Puma medium lift helicopter also, the Gazelle reconnaisance model. The Lynx was individual belonging to the trio to get were completely British start, and the second two being French and dual design.
The Lynx development progressed together with the first prototype lifting off the ground on 21 March 1971. The style and design exceeded many expectations and would demonstrate to be a really versatile and reliable military helicopter. As soon as the trials program was completed the differences between the two basic models became apparent. The navalised machine had a tricycle undercarriage with the rear wheels splayed to aid landing over the heaving and swaying decks of warships. There are also hardpoints on the bottom in the fuselage with the carriage of torpedoes, missiles and depth charges. The device also was built with a different radar in the nose than on the Army version.
The Army Lynx had 'runners' to land on instead of the undercarriage of one's navalized version and in contrast to naval weapons tough points carried anti tank missiles or maybe a mini gun with the fuselage cabin.
Both types entered service (1972 to the Army version and 1974 to the naval helicopter) along with the various services and inside a decade both types seemed to be within the war situation through the Falklands War. One <a href=http://carwashusa.nl/Dbase/aj.html>http://carwashusa.nl/Dbase/aj.html</a> machine connected to the ill fated HMS Coventry attacked many different small Argentine warships including <a href=http://museumhertogsgemaal.nl/img/ugg.html>ugg 正規品</a> the 800 ton Somellera along with the deadly Sea Skua missile and destroyed them. A feat that you will find repeated inside the first Gulf War against Iraqi fast attack craft.
The fundamental Lynx design is upgraded during its service life and also has recently been exported to several navies and armies worldwide. In May 2009 the British Government announced that your new order for updated Lynx helicopters had been placed with Westland Helicopters (now called Westland Augusta) these can be often known as Wildcat Lynx due to the nature of one's extensive up arming within the machines. The Lynx helicopter will operating for another 10 years which will remain as potent as always against land and sea targets.
