First flown in 1991, the Airbus Helicopters Tiger is the first combat helicopter manufactured in Europe and has been in series production since 2002. Currently, the armed forces of Germany, France, Spain and Australia are flying the model. The spectrum ranges from armed reconnaissance and close air support to combating enemy helicopters and tanks.
Since its commissioning, the helicopter has participated in several conflicts. Michael Normann describes the entire development history, the production, the technology and the application here with a lot of detailed knowledge and technically sound.
