 tiger review
It was an undignified end to a successful visit by the multimillion-dollar aircraft but the charred remains of the Eurocopter Tiger, which crashed in Townsville on February 17, served to prove the makers claims that the helicopter was crash survivable.
Tiger offers a wide range of weapon systems, from the nose-mounted 30mm cannon through numerous rocket and missile options, though the full range of systems is not currently on the Australian shopping list.
Currently Tiger is lacking the level of power that would be required to operate tactically in Australia's hot and humid northern environment but Mr Warner says this problem is already being addressed by the engine manufacturer with 20 per cent more power promised next year.
