Description
The Agusta-Bell AB-205 is a multirole helicopter produced under license in Italy by Agusta, derived from the famous Bell UH-1 Iroquois, better known as the “Huey.” It entered service in the 1960s and, thanks to its structural simplicity and design reliability, demonstrated extraordinary versatility and longevity. With a flight range of over 500 km and a maximum speed exceeding 200 km/h, the AB-205 was developed to meet the need for rapidly transporting troops to areas that were difficult to reach. However, thanks to its flexibility, it can be configured in numerous military and civilian versions: from cargo transport to civil protection, from medical evacuation to search-and-rescue missions. A particularly important role was played by the helicopter in the aviation units of the Arma dei Carabinieri.
