Não é o caso do "seu" helicoptero que é uma adaptação para uso naval e que sofre sim corrosão, apesar de vc dizer que não.
Primero, no es mío, es de la Armada de Chile...
Segundo, el AS 532SC de Eurocopter (Cougar de la MCh) es una versión navalizada del As 532 estándar, con todas las modificaciones necesarias para esa misión, como son las palas plegables (que como deberías saber, la versión terrestre no tiene):
The AS 532SC is the navalized version of the COUGAR family, fitted with two Turbomeca Makila 1A1 turboshaft engines. Particularly suited for anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare.
Shipborne suitability:
Its deck landing ability is compatible with the deck movements encountered at the extremes of normal crew capabilities. Able to interface with many different securing and traversing systems (Rast, Assist, Mac Taggart and Samahe...). The AS532SC can be operated easely at sea with maximum safety
MARITIME SURVEILLANCE & S.A.R.
With its core system, the AS532SC is able to manage the surface situation, detect, identify and track the different types of surface targets, either in active or passive mode. It is able to provide Over The Horizon Targetting to any friendly firing ship. Equipped with a hoist it has a full SAR capability.
The AS532SC, in one hour, is able to survey the same area as a frigate during 24 hours
ANTI-SURFACE UNIT WARFARE
When fitted with the ASUW equipment package the AS532SC is the only modern helicopter in the western world to be armed with a long range fire and forget, all weather, stand-off, sea skimming and combat proven weapon system : the EADS AM39 BLOCK 2 missiles.
The formidable fire-power of thes two missiles can be used far away, since the AS532SC in this configuration is able to strike a target 150nm away from its home ship or air base.
ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE
In ASW configuration, the AS532SC is able to detect, classify, attack and destroy submarines in all weather conditions in deep or shallow waters. The ASW package includes a low frequency high depth dipping sonar with very high acoustic performance and short dip cycle time.
It can be armed with two torpedoes. At 30nm from its base the AS532SC can remain more than 2.5 hours on task.
Ok, na AL não se compra Helis faz tempo, agora me diga:
Por que em nenhum outro lugar do mundo se comprou o Cougar naval?
Fácil! Ele não serve.
Qué te sucede, peleaste con tu mujer....o estas en “aquellos días”???.
Los países involucrados en redes industriales, como los europeos DEBEN comprar los productos nuevos, como el NH90 o Merlín, sean estos baratos o no.....
¿Qué otros países han comprado helos navales medios nuevos....?.
Lo de usuario único puede cambiar en cualquier momento, pues el Cougar naval aún se ofrece como producto de línea por Eurocoptes.

Finalmente, el que sea la MCh la única usuaria hasta el momento no significa mucho, sino, el AMX, el F-22, el SAAB Vigen, el BAC Ligtning, el Rafale, el S-3, el F-18E, el F-16E, etc., TODOS no sirven.....
O Chile apostou e foi o único que ficou com o "Mico na mão".
Claro....y aún ese “Mico” es el helicóptero naval más poderoso de LA....por lejos...
Mas, nunca é tarde para se resolver isso. Como o Chile está com o bolso cheio de dinheiro, pode fácilmente comprar uns 2 ou 3 Merlin que ai sim, eu baterei palmas.
Pues no....no se busca sustituir los Cougar navales (ataque), sino los Bo-105 de SAR y reconocimiento, para lo cual parece que está a punto de comprarse 6 Dauphins.....
O BlackHawk foi projetado para ter uma plataforma terrestre e naval, desde o inicio do projeto.
No amigo, el Blackhawk nacio de un concurso de los 70 para sustituir el UH-1 del ejercito:
The UH-60A, first flown in October 1974, was developed as result of the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) program. The UTTAS was designed for troop transport, command and control, MedEvac, and reconnaissance, to replace the UH-1 Series "Huey" in the combat assault role. In August 1972, the U.S. Army selected the Sikorsky (model S-70) YUH-60A and the Boeing Vertol (model 237) YUH-61A (1974) as competitors in the Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) program. The Boeing Vertol YUH-61A had a four-bladed composite rotor, was powered by the same General Electric T700 engine as the Sikorsky YUH-60A, and could carry 11 troops. In December 1976 Sikorsky won the competition to produce the UH-60A, subsequently named the Black Hawk.
A terrestre para substituir o UH-1H no Exercito e a naval para subsituir o Seasprite.
No....
The UH-60 Black Hawk was fielded by the Army in 1979. The Navy received the SH-60B Seahawk in 1983 and the SH-60F in 1988.
Já o Puma não. Ele foi projetado para ser o helicoptero do Exercito Britanico e Frances. Só quando estavam no Super Puma pensaram num Puma Naval.
Parece que....el SH-60 es también un derivado del proyecto terrestre original UH-60....
Totalmente correta sua colocação, Luiz.
Y que te parta un rayo si te equivocas.....
Saludos cordiales,
