Airbus AS332 Super Puma / H215 / H225 Family
The Super Puma is a family of heavy twin-engine helicopters that began with Aérospatiale's AS332 and continues through the Airbus H215 and larger H225. Developed from the Puma, the lineage added greater power, range, payload, and all-weather capability while retaining a flexible cabin for transport and aerial work. Civil and government operators use Super Pumas for offshore transport, search and rescue, firefighting, medical evacuation, disaster relief, law enforcement, and heavy utility missions.
