AGUSTA NH-90 FLIGHT

NH-90 IN FLIGHT FOR THE DELIVERY CEREMONY OF THE FIRST MODELS TO THE ITALIAN ARMY AVIATION .

Il primo settembre 1992, le NH Industries firmarono un contratto per il progetto e lo sviluppo dell'NH90 con la NAHEMA (NATO Helicopter Management Agency). L'agenzia riuniva i rappresentanti delle quattro nazioni inizialmente interessate all'elicottero:Germania, Italia, Francia e Olanda. Il Portogallo si è unito all'agenzia il 21 giugno 2001. L'attività di progetto iniziò nel 1993, e il primo prototipo, il PT1, realizzò il primo volo il 18 dicembre 1995. Un secondo prototipo, il PT2, effettuò il primo volo il 19 marzo 1997 e il terzo prototipo, il PT3, il 27 novembre 1998.

Il programma NH90 è gestito dalla NH Industries, mentre la produzione è suddivisa tra 3 partner, la cui partecipazione è suddivisa in 32.00% per la AgustaWestland italiana, 62.50% per la Eurocopter francese e tedesca e 5.50% per la Stork Fokker Aerospace olandese.

Il programma dichiara 2 anni di ritardo a causa della complessa procedura di omologazione e i primi NH90 sono stati consegnati verso la fine del 2006 all'Esercito Tedesco. Questi saranno seguiti dagli elicotteri italiani e finlandesi nel 2007. In seguito, nel corso del 2007, le Marine Militari Italiana e Francese inizieranno a ricevere le varianti NFH. Nel 2007 sono previste anche le consegne dei primi elicotteri svedesi e norvegesi.

Si è pensato originariamente di produrre l'NH90 presso 3 linee di assemblaggio principali; Vergiate in Italia per AgustaWestland, Marignane in Francia e Donauwörth in Germania per Eurocopter. Il contratto per le varianti nordiche e australiana introdusse l'obbligo di stabilire una produzione locale che per la variante nordica sarà costituita presso la società Patria in Finlandia.

Ad oggi (2007), 15 nazioni e 24 forze armate hanno firmato 612 ordinativi e 64 opzioni di acquisto (TTH: 484+64, NFH: 128+17)

The NH90 is not an Agusta helicopter!!

NH industries make this heli and EUROCOPTER is the main contractor by far...

[jag3rnaut]

@mariusrodrigo

@mariusrodrigo

Totally wrong ,the Eurocopter is a FrancoGerman merged and NHi (nato helicopter industries ) is nothing than Agusta,Eurocopter and Stork fokker .

Agusta and Eurocopter both produce for theirself and other countries .

So that one in the video is an Agusta Nh90 made in Vergiate ITALY .

[mariusrodrigo]

@jag3rnaut Of course the Italian NH90 are built in Italia so what?? The Australian NH90 are also built in Australia, but the NH90 is not an Australian design.

NHI is a joint venture MOSTLY owned by Eurocopter, and Eurocopter is the main contractor for the design of the heli.

Please stop your nationalist bolloks.

@mariusrodrigo

ah ah so silly you are ,look who's talking ,a french who says "stop your nationalist bolloks" ahahaha .

Sorry for you but your dear eurocopter is not only french but also German for its 50% so stop your nationalist bolloks ;)

And "joint venture" means that each member takes part in the project making part of it so for your information the NH-90 is not a MADE IN FRANCE product if this is the only thing you want to say between the lines XD .

[jag3rnaut]

@mariusrodrigo

Moreover each country is dedicated to the achievement of certain specific components : some are made exclusively in Italy ,some in France and some more in Germany ,putting them together comes the nh-90 .

The only ones to PRODUCE the NH-90 for worldwide market are Germany, Italy and France in their own factories .

Finland and Australia are autorized to ASSEMBLE the NH-90 in their own countries .

[jag3rnaut]

@mariusrodrigo

A last thing :

NHI is Eurocopter Germany+Eurocopter France 62,5% , Agusta 32% , Fokker 5,5% .

Eurocopter is a MERGED , it has 2 separate brains and 2 separate accounts so your beloved france got just the 50% of the cake = a bit more than the 31% .

I must say :Please you stop your nationalist bolloks.

[terrasidius]

cooler than the blackhawk

[merilldu76]

NH90 is not a agusta helicopter but a NHindustries helicopter and NHindustries is an eurocopter filial(i'm french i don't remember) is an EUROCOPTER helicopter

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

@terrasidius WHAT EVER...

NH90 dominates the uh60.

The NH90 was designed a certain way too unlike the uh60 was. NH90s stats actually out do the uh60. uh60 stealth prototype that Osama Bin Laden had looked homo.

Check out the HIGH SPEED stealth design of the NH90.

@mariusrodrigo I couldn't have said it better myself, greeting from Finland, another NH-90 Eurocopter user.

[FredAndCoInc]

Superbe Hélicoptère 

[FredAndCoInc]

@mariusrodrigo oui Eurocopter représente 62,5% de NH industries, le reste étant Agusta et Foker.

[bingofioul]

[AntarcticanArmy24]

lol

[squarcitto]

Please, only aviation enthusiastics here.

[ingdolci]

@jag3rnaut if it was French his rotor rotates in the opposite direction

[mrdizero]

Com'on People, this helicopter is built and designed by 3 european countries (Italy, France, Germany), with small parts built in Holland and Portugal. It's a European Project and each of these country has a very important role, without which the heli would not exist.

The most important thing is: this helicopter is a great machine, it flies like a bird, it is a very good design overall and success of sales and export.

Most important: it over-perform any american chopper of comparable category.:)
