Belgian Air Force - Airbus Military - NH-90 - Nato Helicopter
The Sea King SAR helicopters were phased out in March 2019 after more than 40 years of service and replaced by NH90s (4 NFH + 4 TTH).
The NH90, a European medium-sized, twin-engine, multirole military helicopter, is manufactured by the Airbus Military owned NHIndustries. It was the first production helicopter to feature entirely fly-by-wire flight controls.There is extensive use of composite materials and electronic sensors.
The helicopter has two main versions, the TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) oriented towards land applications (able to carry up to 20 troops) and the NFH (Nato Fregat Helicopter), oriented towards naval use and focused on such tasks as ASW and marine Search And Rescue.
Over 500 have been produced for a dozen users, and it remains in production.
