The Leonardo AW101 is one of the world's most advanced, long-range Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopters. Built in Yeovil, UK, it is designed for extreme environments and is capable of rescuing over 20 survivors in a single mission while providing specialized in-flight medical care. --Core Capabilities & Technology-- - Extended Range: Superior range and endurance allow the AW101 to operate autonomously in harsh weather and inhospitable environments, such as deep-water rescues or over the North Atlantic. - Safety & Redundancy: Powered by three engines, it features a transmission system capable of running for 30 minutes without lubrication oil in an emergency. - Advanced Sensors: Equipped with AESA Osprey radar, synthetic vision, and high-definition electro-optical sensors. - Mobile Phone Detection: Many AW101 SAR configurations (such as Norway's fleet) are fitted with the Redstreak system, which pinpoints survivors by turning their mobile phones into emergency rescue beacons, even outside cell coverage.

USA buyers please contact me for shipping quotes as ebay has suspended USA from the Global Shipping Program due to ever changing tariffs. Shipping manually via a Royal Mail tracked service is cheaper anyway.
