efectivamente el super cougar es una maquina muy evolucionada y con mejoras en todos los aspectos si se compara con sus antecesores, la forma mas facil de reconocerlos es que tiene cinco palas en el rotor principal mientras que el cougar solo tiene 4.

...lo cual porsupuesto, es un indicio evidente del incremento en la potencia que trean los motores que hoy calza la aeronave.

Heee, en realidad sólo aparece un Ángel (el penúltimo). El último helo es sólo un BlackHawk con alas.

Según he leído, Ecuador estaría interesado en la adquisición de algunos de éstos.

Ya empezaron a volar los NH-90 de EUROCOPTER.

Esperemos verlos pronto por LATINOAMERICA.

No, al menos en Brasil. Ya estamos muy bien servidos con el EC-725, y el Americano S-70 Seahawk.

Respetados foristas, cordial saludo.

Éstos son helicópteros del Ejército de Colombia ayudando a reparar el Canal del Dique.(*)








Este último es el de la famosa Operación Jaque.



* Es un canal de agua artificial que parte desde el rio Magdalena y conecta con Cartagena de Indias. Bien, pues se rompió en el norte de Colombia y ocasionó una inundación IN-MEN-SA.

Respetados foristas, cordial saludo.

Los Ecureuil brasileiros han salido finos eh. Luego de 20 años de imparable servicio, los modernizarán y volarán por 25 años más!

Eurocopter’s Helibras subsidiary to modernize 36 AS350 Ecureuil helicopters operated by the Brazilian Army Aviation Command

Itajubá, Brazil, January 05, 2011

The Helicópteros do Brasil (Helibras) subsidiary of Eurocopter signed a contract for a major upgrade program on the Brazilian Army’s fleet of 36 AS350 Ecureuils. This modernization includes the rebuilding of three of these aircraft.

This activity, involving AS350s operated by the Brazilian Army Aviation Command (Comando de Aviação do Exército), will begin during 2011 – with its completion expected in 2018. The work is to be carried out at Helibras’ facilities in Itajubá, which are located in the southeastern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais.

Eurocopter’s single-engine, multipurpose AS350 entered service with the Brazilian Army Aviation Command more than two decades ago, and Helibras’ upgrade program will ensure the continued operation of these helicopters for at least 25 additional years.



Included in the modernization program is the installation of a glass cockpit with three large liquid crystal displays, the integration of an Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) with autopilot and the use of improved seats for pilots to provide better visibility and enhanced protection.

Much of this upgrade package developed by Helibras can be applied to AS350 Ecureuils flown by other operators in Brazil, representing an inventory of some 300 helicopters.

“Technology has made huge leaps since the first AS350 entered service, with the use of digital avionics and computers providing better safety and performance, along with a lower workload for pilots,” said Helibras President Eduardo Marson. “The application of our modernization package to the AS350 will significantly improve this helicopter’s versatility for the Brazilian Army Aviation Command, and we are offering these enhancements for other Ecureuil operators in Brazil as well.”

The AS350’s new avionics will be developed by Helibras in Brazil with Sagem (Safran Group) and Aeroeletrônica, based on a cooperation agreement established in November. The displays will be supplied by Sagem Avionics Inc., while Aeroeletrônica will be responsible for providing the computer and assembling the avionics system.
