About this report
Figure: The NH90 multi-role helicopter (here a German Navy NFH version) is a modern medium-lift rotorcraft, 20 m long with twin 2,300‑shp turboshaft engines. It entered service in the 2000s and can carry ~20 troops or two NATO-standard cargo pallets. (Photo: Airbus Helicopters) The NH90 was developed by NHIndustries (Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo, Fokker) to NATO standards.
It typically operates in two variants – a Tactical Transport Helicopter (TTH) for troop/carriage roles and a NATO Frigate Helicopter (NFH) for maritime duties. Equipped with advanced avionics, sensors and armaments, the NH90 has served 11 NATO and allied nations.
