The Westland Lynx is a British-built all-metal multi-purpose helicopter with a fixed undercarriage, in a classic configuration with a main rotor and a tail rotor on the beam. The drive is provided by two Rolls-Royce 42-1 turbofan engines with a power of 1015 HP each. The first prototype flew in 1971, and serial production began in 1978 and is still ongoing. By 2009, about 450 helicopters of this type had been built. The machine was also manufactured under license in France by Aerospatiale.
The Westland Lynx was created to replace the Westland Scout and Westland Wasp helicopters. During its design, special emphasis was placed on the high reliability of the entire machine, good performance and efforts to maintain high sensitivity to modernization. These goals have been achieved. During serial production, two main development versions of the helicopter were created: the first, designated as the Lynx AH.1, was dedicated to the army's military aviation and was used as a transport helicopter and anti-tank helicopter. There were also several versions of it, such as the Lynx AH.7 with a fuselage and rotor made to a greater extent of composite materials and with richer avionics. The second major version was designated as the Lynx HAS.1 - it served as an anti-submarine helicopter (ZOP) and search and rescue machine. This version has also undergone many modifications and has been revised several times, e.g. HAS.3
