Aerospatiale SA-330 Puma
In the early 1960’s Sud-Aviation began development of a twin-turbine all-weather tactical and logistics transport, the first of two prototypes making its first flight on 15 April 1965. The Anglo-French helicopter agreement which ended on 2 April 1968 gave the UK company Westland Helicopters joint production rights of this helicopter, named the SA 330 Puma.
The Puma’s fuselage is of a conventional all-metal semi-monocoque construction, the engines mounted on top, forward of the main rotor assembly. The main rotor is driven by a gearbox, which combines the output from the engines to the main drive shaft. The tailboom is of monocoque construction and has a five-bladed tail rotor on the starboard side and a horizontal stabilizer on the port side. The landing gear is a semi-retractable tricycle type with twin wheels on each unit.
The Puma has been used in both civilian and military roles. Its twin-engine safety also makes it ideal for offshore transports to oil rigs and ships. Some versions also have filters forward of the air intakes improving its safety in sandy conditions.
