HAL Cheetah (Alouette II)

In 1968, Sud-Aviation received a request from the Indian Air Force (IAF) for a helicopter capable of operate in high altitude. Developed from the Aerospatiale Alouette II, the SA 315B Lama soon demonstrated its capabilities as a rescue and crane machine. Over 250 was built under license as the Cheetah at HAL until the late 1980s. Although a diminishing asset with the IAF, these helicopters serve in large numbers with the Army Aviation Corps (AAC). Both Army and IAF Cheetahs, supporting Army outposts, operate at altitudes of 24,000+ feet. An option remains to re-engine the HAL Cheetah with the Turbomeca TM 333-2B2 engine.
