AFAIK, no NOTAR (No Tail and Rotor) MDs in Philippine military service. |

the MD520N [notar] will be very excellent in the recon and light attack role for PAF or Army aviation, its superquiet bec of the lack of tail rotor the enemy wont notice the helo until its on top of their heads

if it's more quiet and can carry the same deadly weapon load, THEN THESE ARE GOOD FOR SPEC OPS as well. |

at least, this article proves that we can do something about our fleet of MD520MG Defenders and that there is no need for us to buy old, high-end helicopters such as AH-1F Cobras. :thumb: |

Israel was the most noted user of the Defenders series in which they been notable improve the engine,avionic and sensors together with the weapon payload. What the MDHI was trying to revive and sell to the US army right now is there NOTAR helicopter or the MD Explorer in which only found a market for civilian purpose. they are now offering with new package of the MD Explorer. US army is now searching for a unit of light weight gun ship. |

The Israelis did have MG Gunships but when push came to shove note that they sold those and kept the Cobras. Not only did they keep the Cobras but they are modernizing them despite receiving new AH-64s. That should mean something. |

A nice view of the Israel Hughes Helicopter. It enters in service in 70's and until now.![]() A hint on how the MD 500 could be fitted with FLIR and new weapon system. But on the sites MD500 of IAF has more powerful engine to allow to carry up to 8 TOW. How about this one guys NOTAR Seies of the MD 500 ![]() MD 600 NOTAR Series ![]() A much bigger airframe than the MD500 MD 900 Explorer NOTAR ![]() aiming to get a contract for the US Army. Only used Civilian purposes due to lack of power in the engine. New Package was enclosed in a new bid to got the next light helicopter gunship. |
