Worlds most powerful chopper ?

Is this the world's most powerful chopper ??

The aircraft can also be configured with the "enhanced cargo handling system". The system consists of an under sling which can carry up to 1200 tons.

Same cargo capacity of the AS 350B3 is quoted in various places, in their website .. !!!

That is impressive lifting ability

Cool website but looks like they need to have someone who knows the business read it over.

Actually it IS true, coz I've read it for myself:-

AIR SENOK's brand new aircraft are manufactured in France, and are what the Aviation industry refers to as the "Next Generation" of the Ecureuil Family. The Eurocopter AS350 B3 outclasses all other single engine helicopters for performance, versatility, safety and competitive acquisition and maintenance costs. This fully air conditioned state of the art aircraft excels in hot conditions and very high altitudes, and has broken records when a standard production aircraft landed on top of Mount Everest in 2005.

To ensure sustainability and maximum safety of the aircraft at any given time, Eurocopter has offered a long-term maintenance contract to AIR SENOK .

The flexible design of the B3 enables it to be configured for many different missions, allowing for one aircraft to perform the role of many. Much of the special mission equipment added to the B3 is removable, allowing the aircraft to quickly switch between roles such as in Medivac Services in emergencies.

The aircraft can also be configured with the "enhanced cargo handling system". The system consists of an under sling which can carry up to 1200 tons.
And look, here are the record-breaking Squirrels -



I think though that the real answer might be found in the following statement:-

Air Senok - TRULY SRI LANKAN

Point taken Sid, neither could the gentleman himself spell to save himself.
His strong suite being maths, proven when he taught all French to count, well as far as one, anyway.

You know, a decent drink = 1 litre; a giant leap for mankind = 1 metre; an easy start = push one button on an EC 120 etc.

What I cannot figure is how the modern vertically challenged Frenchmen can step that far.

French woman are different, they could all leap buildings in a single bound to my eye.

cheers tet
