Super Lynx 300 is the latest generation of the world leading intermediate class maritime helicopter in service with several customers world-wide. It combines agility, compact dimensions and modern avionics to deliver high mission capability. Superb twin & single engine performance is provided by the LHTEC CTS800-4N Engines. The platform is designed with small ships operation in mind and benefits from a low centre of gravity and excellent cross & tail wind operating envelope. This is particularly of benefit to operations during challenging weather conditions and high sea states. The small footprint combined with blade and tailfold capability make this aircraft the number one choice when operating small ships where hangar and flight deck space is at a premium. Roles include anti-submarine warfare, exclusive economic zone (EEZ) protection, search and rescue (SAR), utility and troop transport.
