Abstract

The COUGAR is a military transport helicopter of the 9-ton class, which is largely utilized by 45 countries of the world. Since the launching of the EUROCOPTER helicopter there have been production enhancements while preserving the quality for combat missions. The principal requirements for COUGAR in combat missions are: a long maximum operating range; a capacity to fly at "any time" of day and night; and a low level of detection and vulnerability as well as good resistance in the event of a crash.
