MBB Bo 105 - fotod ja videod

2007 Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm Bo 105 is a light, twin-engine, multi-purpose helicopter developed by Bölkow of Ottobrunn, West Germany. It was the first light twin-engine helicopter in the world, and the first rotorcraft that could perform aerobatic maneuvers such as inverted loops. The Bo 105 features a revolutionary hingeless rotor system, a pioneering innovation in helicopters when it was introduced into service in 1970. Production of the Bo 105 began at the then-recently merged Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB). The main production facilities for producing the Bo 105 were located in Germany and Canada; due to the level of export sales encountered, additional manufacturing lines were set up in Spain, Indonesia, and the Philippines. MBB became a part of Eurocopter in 1991, who continued production of the type until 2001. The Bo 105 was formally replaced in Eurocopter’s product range by the newer Eurocopter EC135.

MBB Bo 105 on kerge, kahemootoriline mitmeotstarbeline helikopter, mille töötas välja Bölkow Ottobrunnist, Lääne-Saksamaalt. Esmakordselt lendas see 1967. aastal ja võeti kasutusele 1970. aastal. See oli esimene kerge kahemootoriline helikopter maailmas ja esimene tiiviklennuk, mis võis teha aerobaatilisi manöövreid, näiteks ümberpööratud silmuseid. Bo 105-l on hingedeta rootorisüsteem, mis tagab suure paindlikkuse ja stabiilsuse.
Bo 105 tootis Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB), mis hiljem sai Eurocopteri osaks. Bo 105 kasutati mitmesugustes rollides, nagu õhupääste, õiguskaitse, sõjaväetransport, avamereoperatsioonid ja VIP-transport. Bo 105 asendati Eurocopter EC135-ga 2001. aastal pärast enam kui 1,500 ühiku ehitamist.
