Tiger
Eurocopter · Germany/France
The Tiger was designed for high survivability and agility. It is built almost entirely of composite materials (80%) to reduce its radar cross-section and weight. It features a unique "mast-mounted sight" on some versions, allowing it to scout from behind cover while only exposing the sensor.
