advice: S76 or AS 365 or ...?
Guys,
I need some advice please:
Need a 10 pax heli with non military appearance (no Pumas or Bell 2 series) to transport pax and their kit 20 miles at a time over dry land and back in a 2000', 40 degrees C dry, dusty environment. Confined landing and take off at one end. Must also fit anti-missile kit.
S76 B stats show it's got the HOGE performance. Will S76A do the job ? P&W or Turbomecca engine better option ?
What about AS365 ? Anything else better ?
Presume no singles can do it...
Thanks for your help.
