General Characteristics
The Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters) EC665 Tiger is a tandem-seat, twin-engine attack helicopter developed primarily by France and Germany. Noteworthy for being the first all-composite helicopter developed in Europe, its design emphasizes low radar and infrared signature, high agility (capable of negative G maneuvers), and high survivability. It operates in multiple roles, including armed reconnaissance, anti-tank warfare, and fire support. The EC665 entered service in the early 2000s and has seen combat use in Afghanistan, Mali, and other operational theaters.
