由欧洲4国共同研制的 NH90型直升机8月6日在波罗的海上空执行了试飞任务。再过两年,这一被誉为“21世纪欧洲最好的多用途直升机”就将走下生产线,正式开始服役。NH90是一种现代化的中型直升机,每架价值1700万～2000万美元,由法国、德国、意大利和荷兰4国于1991年起共同研制,今年7月,葡萄牙又正式加入该计划。NH 是“北约直升机”的英文字头缩写,暗示着生产国希望它能被北约广泛使用。不管这一愿望能否实现,它肯定会成为正在组建的“欧洲快速反应部队”的主力。作为担负多种任务的新型直升机,NH90采用了许多高科技来提高战场生存能力。它的机身由全复合材料制成,隐身性好,抗冲击能力较强;螺旋桨 The NH90 helicopter jointly developed by four European countries conducted a test flight over the Baltic Sea on August 6. In another two years, this is known as “the best multi-purpose helicopter in Europe in the 21st century ” will go down the production line, officially began to serve. The NH90 is a modern medium-sized helicopter with a value of $ 17 million to $ 20 million each. It was jointly developed in 1991 by France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. In July this year, Portugal officially joined the program. NH is an acronym for “NATO Helicopter”, implying that the producing country wants it to be widely used by NATO. Regardless of whether this wish can be fulfilled, it will surely become the main force behind the formation of the “European Rapid Reaction Force.” As a new type of helicopter carrying a variety of tasks, the NH90 uses many advanced technologies to improve battlefield survivability. Its fuselage made of all composite materials, stealth good, strong impact resistance; propeller
