The Aerospatiale Alouette II is a French light helicopter originally manufactured by Sud Aviation and later Aerospatiale. It was the first production helicopter powered by a gas turbine engine instead of the heavier conventional piston powerplant. The Alouette II was a widely used type and popular with operators, with over 1,300 rotorcraft eventually being constructed between 1956 and 1975. The type was predominantly used for military purposes in observation, photography, air-sea rescue, liaison and training, but it has also carried anti-tank missiles and homing torpedoes. As a civilian helicopter, the Alouette II has been used for casualty evacuation (with two external stretcher panniers), crop-spraying and as a flying crane, with a 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) external underslung load.
Designed originally by Sud Aviation as a light turbine-powered helicopter, the Alouette II was first flown on March 12th, 1955. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
