The Aerospatiale Alouette II was a light, French-built multi-role helicopter. A prototype flight took place in 1955 and the machine entered production in 1957. Over 1,300 helicopters of this type, of all versions, were built over its course. The drive, in the basic version, provided a single Turbomeca Artouste IIC6 engine with 530 hp. The overall length of the helicopter was 9.66 meters with a main rotor diameter of 10.2 meters. The Aerospatiale Alouette II was actually created as a kind of evolution of the very successful, but also technologically advanced SE3120 Alouette helicopter. Compared to its predecessor, it was characterized primarily by a simplified design, allowing the helicopter to enter serial production and the use of a new power unit. By the way, it can be added that this power unit was developed by an engineer of Polish origin - Józef Szydłowski, one of the founders of the Turbomeca company. The Alouette II machines of the series were characterized, as in the late 1950s, by excellent performance, considerable reliability and proved to be very useful - both in public and military service. It is worth adding that the Aerospatiale Alouette II was one of the main helicopters of the military aviation of the armed forces of France and the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. It was also exported to countries such as Austria, Belgium, Sweden and Switzerland.
