The Westland Scout and Wasp are available in two variants based on landing gear type, wheels and conventional skids.
Each variant comes with three liveries:
Scout: Grey-Green Camo, Black-Green Camo, and Grey.
Wasp: Blue, Grey Camo, and Grey.
The Westland Scout is a multi-role, land-based, military utility helicopter developed and manufactured by Westland Helicopters (now known as Leonardo) of the United Kingdom. Operated by one pilot, the single-engine Scout can carry up to four passengers. The rotorcraft took its maiden flight in August of 1959 as the Saunders-Roe P.531-2 and Westland Helicopters began deliveries to the Army Air Corps in 1963.
The Scout performed several roles during its military operational tenure. These included ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) data collections, close air support, ground attack, assault support, casualty evacuation, forward observation, troop and cargo transport, search and rescue, and flight training. It was used by the British Army Air Corps among other operators.
The Scout features an extensively glazed cockpit, a powerful turboshaft engine, and an efficient 4-blade main rotor system. Its modular design allowed for a multitude of configurations, including casualty evacuation, troop transport, and the mounting of several weapon systems.
The combination of design elements made the Scout an incredibly effective military aerial platform. It could fly fast and low in nap-of-the-earth maneuvering, it could engage targets from long distances, and it could carry militarily useful loads of supplies and personnel. The Scout was a renowned workhorse for the Army Air Corps.
The Westland Scout measures 30 feet, 4 inches in length, stands 8 feet, 11 inches tall, and has a main rotor diameter of 32 feet, 3 inches. It is powered by a Rolls-Royce Nimbus turboshaft engine that delivers up to 685 horsepower. It has a range of 315 miles, a service ceiling of 17,700 feet above sea level, and it climbs at 1,670 feet per minute. It cruises at 122 miles per hour and has a top speed of 131 mph.
The Westland Wasp is a sea-based, military multi-role helicopter with an emphasis on anti-submarine operations. It is derived from the Saunders-Roe P.531 and P.531-0N which were used to develop a suitable undercarriage design and to demonstrate the potential military benefit of embarking a small rotorcraft onto small anti-submarine warships. Wasp development was completed by Westland Helicopters (now known as Leonardo) of the United Kingdom following its acquisition of Saunders-Roe in 1959. The Wasp took its maiden flight on October 28, 1962 and it entered service in 1963.
During its operational tenure, the Wasp primarily served as a platform for delivering weapons to counter threats posed by submarines that were detected by specialized ship-based sensors. It also performed the roles of personnel transport, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) data collections, liaison, and casualty evacuation. Crewed by a single pilot, it could carry up to four passengers. The Wasp was operated by the British Royal Navy and the navies of several other countries.
The Wasp features a fully glazed cockpit, an efficient 4-blade main rotor system that folds for stowage, and a folding tail boom for stowage. It uses a long-legged landing gear system with castering wheels for maneuvering on flight decks. The helicopter’s main rotor system can be set for negative pitch to press it against a flight deck.
The Westland Wasp measures 30 feet, 4 inches in length, stands 8 feet, 11 inches tall, and has a main rotor diameter of 32 feet, 3 inches. It is powered by a Rolls-Royce Nimbus turboshaft engine that delivers up to 710 horsepower. It has a range of 303 miles, a service ceiling of 12,000 feet above sea level, and it climbs at 1,440 feet per minute. It cruises at 110 miles per hour and has a top speed of 120 mph.
