Super Lynx - Eyes & Ears of the Fleet

In the early 1990s Westland incorporated newly developed technology into Lynx. This featured BERP rotor blades, a Westland 30-derived tail rotor, Gem 42 engines, a new under-nose 360-degree radar installation and an optional nose-mounted electro-optical sensor turret. Royal Navy Lynx HAS.3s upgraded to Super Lynx standard were known in service as the Lynx HMA.8, and several export customers ordered new-build or upgraded Super Lynxes.

From the 1990s onwards Westland began offering the Super Lynx 200 which was equipped with LHTEC CTS800 engines and the Super Lynx 300 which also had a new cockpit and avionics derived from the AgustaWestland AW101. Both of these models have achieved several export sales.

In 2002 Flight International reported that more than 40 variants of the Lynx were in service with different users, almost 400 aircraft having been built for various customers world wide.
