Photo The Alouette III Marine takes to the sky

About this photo

The Alouette II Marine had barely gained altitude when its older sister, the Alouette III Marine, took off in turn. Its main rotor activated with a deeper roar, a sign of its increased power and its ability to carry more payload. The aircraft took off with remarkable fluidity, joining its companion in a joint demonstration, offering the audience a harmonious and precise aerial ballet.

Larger and more robust than the Alouette II, the Alouette III was designed for rescue, observation, and light transport missions on board ships. Its spacious cabin and increased range make it a versatile and spectacular aircraft in flight. Watching these two helicopters operate side by side, each in its own style, underscores the complementary nature of the French Navy's light fleet: agility, efficiency, and elegance, even at low altitude.
