The Aérospatiale SA319 Alouette III is a single-engine, light utility helicopter originally developed by Sud Aviation and later manufactured by Aérospatiale. The designs for the Alouette III were derived from a previously halted project, designated the SE 3120 Alouette, which, despite its promising nature, was considered too complex for the commercial market. Several prototypes were constructed based on the project, incorporating Turbomeca’s Artouste engine. The finalized aircraft took its first flight in 1959 and became known as the Alouette III. The SA 319B Alouette III gained relative popularity in the subsequent years, finding utility in various roles such as transport, flight training, air-sea rescue, and aerial observation. The aircraft was easily adaptable, allowing for the integration of military equipment and light weaponry.
Red Box is delighted to provide an extensive range of ground power and support equipment tailored for this aircraft, encompassing tugs, ground power units, start power units and more, perfectly suited to the requirements of the SA 319B aircraft.
Our offerings include the 709 tug, the RBSC100 continuous power unit—ideal for diagnostic work, pre-flight checks, or continuous equipment powering during operations without draining the onboard aircraft batteries—and the RB50A for starting the aircraft, mitigating the risk of hot starts. Additionally, we offer a combination of start and continuous power in one unit designed specifically for SA 319B aircraft in our TC3000 range.
