The Eurocopter Tiger

The Eurocopter Tiger is a helicopter gunship. It is armed with four Stinger missiles and eight Starstreak flare missiles. There is a crew of two: one pilot, who also operates the gun and the weapons systems officer. The Tiger' s engines are two Rolls- Royce Turbomeca engines driving four turboshafts. It also 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.
