Helicopter Aircraft. The initial Super Puma's maiden flight took place in 1978. The system was fitted with the versatile Turbomeca turboshaft engines that drove a four-blade main rotor and traditional four-blade tail rotor. The system was crewed by either one or two personnel and could carry upwards of 29 personnel in the spacious cabin setting. Variants of the Super Puma have allowed the basic utilitarian airframe to undertake a variety of battlefield and peacetime roles. gun pods, rocket pods and missiles can all be fitted externally, seeing the Super Puma even in the anti-submarine warfare role. Pintle gun mounts can be placed at the cabin doors for additional security. In order to provide the capacity and performance necessary for increased aerial transport requirements, the Swiss Air Force had to procure medium size transport helicopters. In a first step, three Super Puma helicopters were introduced in 1987. With this, first experiences in the fields of operations and maintenance could be gathered and operational concepts were worked out. AS332 Super Puma (wallpaper 3)

The twin engine Super Puma is equipped for instrument flight and is suitable for many military and civilian purposes (e.g. disaster relief). In cases of emergency and crash-landings, the Super Puma is equipped with modern safety and security features providing better protection for the two pilots who fly it and for the passengers. With the ’98 armaments programme the procurement of an addi-tional 12 helicopters was realised. These are AS532 Cougars Eurocopter's new name for the military variant of the Super Puma. There are currently five main versions of the Super Puma, based on short and long fuselage variants. The AS.332B is the standard military version, which to date has been supplied to Abu Dhabi, Argentina, Chile and Spain, whilst the AS.332F is a naval variant armed with two Exocet missiles for antishipping duties. The civil equivalent of these two short fuselage variants is the AS.332C. The two stretched variants are the AS.332M military transport and the AS.332L civil version. The latter has become popular with offshore support operators, particularly in the North Sea where six major operators had the type in service at the beginning of 1984. This included 34 aircraft with Bristow Helicopters, redesignated Tigers to signify equipment differences from the standard AS.332L. Orders for 150 Super Pumas had been received by late 1983, including license-built aircraft being assembled by Nurtanio of Indonesia. AS332 Super Puma (wallpaper 3).
