The French don't know what they want, the Super Frelon goes anti clockwise, the Puma /Super puma series goes Clockwise and on the NH 90 back to anti clockwise. At least all the US and German and Italian Machines are anti clockwise and the Russians clockwise, just the french can't make up there minds again !
Though i was told tongue in cheek that if in a crash the rotor comes thru the roof the Helo with the anti clockwise rotor will take out the Captain , while a clockwise rotor will only take out the the Co pilot! And we don't want to lose those crusty old Captains
