includes a rear engine, which is a single Rolls- Royce Turbomeca driving three turboshafts. The helicopter also includes twenty- seven flame bombs, although Eurocopter never approved of that idea. The helicopter only relies on three wheels (two at the front, one at the back) , surprisingly since the Tiger is so big. Eurocopter also has other plans for making a helicopter that will be a greater improvement on the Tiger, but the helicopter will still be an improvement on the world air forces. Now, Eurocopter have just simply upgraded this magnificent helicopter.

The Westland Sea King
The Westland Sea King helicopter is one of the most reliable helicopters in the world. It could be used for transport, a Heliliner (a passenger helicopter), a S.A.R (Search And Rescue) and a police helicopter. The Sea King also has the ability to land on water, snow and on any dry surface. The original prototype was designed by Igor Sikorsy, founder of the Sikorsy Aircraft Company, but the design was later adopted by Westland. Sikorsy also made some licensed-built versions, but Westland is the company who built most of the Sea Kings in the world.
