Why only fixed wing?


SAR and ASW roles are also heavily fulfilled by rotary wing aircraft.


Your title says MPA but your brief states SAR and ASW, whilst MPA do SAR and ASW actual recovery of persons from the water and generally detection and prosecution of submarines in the vicinity of the fleet are generally (for the UK specifically) conducted by rotary wing aircraft.
