Now about the helicopters. This is a tiger. Or Tiger, as it is also called:)
Tiger is a reconnaissance and attack helicopter. Developed by the Franco-German consortium Eurocopter.
The fuselage structure is 80% made of polymer composite materials (PCM) based on carbon fiber and kevlar, 11% is aluminum, and 6% is titanium alloys.
The main and tail rotor blades are made of PCM and remain functional in the event of combat damage and collisions with birds.
Lightning protection and resistance to the action of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) are provided by a thin bronze mesh and copper interconnecting foil applied to the surface of the fuselage.
The location of the crew members - standard for attack helicopters - is in tandem, a feature of the Tiger is the front location of the pilot's seat, the operator's workplace - in the back.
