MAKE SURE TO READ THE NOTES BELOW

The fictional AgustaWestland AW280 "Vulture" is a high-speed transport/utility compound helicopter designed by AgustaWestland as an entry within the HSUH competition (High Speed Utility Helicopter) set by the Newquay Navy for a new high-speed helicopter to supplement their fleet of AW260s for fast transit insertion in a hot zone. Requirements of the HSUH was for the capability to get within a landing zone & out as fast as possible, as well as be highly modular & utilitarian in design to allow for different missions to be carried out. It is currently undergoing development and is to be tested within the Newquay Navy in the coming years as part of the HSUH program.
