Airbus Helicopters Tiger HAD

The Airbus Helicopters Tiger HAD is a tandem-seat, twin-engine attack helicopter developed for armed reconnaissance, escort, ground-fire support, air-to-air combat and anti-tank missions. Airbus describes the HAD as a combat-proven variant equipped with two enhanced MTR 390 turboshaft engines, modern digital avionics and a roof-mounted sight supporting guided weapons. The helicopter’s narrow airframe, four-blade main rotor and survivability features are optimized for operations in demanding combat environments. The HAD is kept as a distinct Tiger variant because its engines, maximum takeoff weight, weapons integration and mission equipment differ from earlier Tiger configurations. Specifications in this profile should therefore remain HAD-specific rather than being generalized across the entire Tiger family.
