The Aérospatiale SA 341 Gazelle, introduced in 1973, is a light transport/utility helicopter. The need for the Gazelle arose when the French Army sought a lightweight observation helicopter to replace the Aérospatiale Alouette III. In 1966, Sud Aviation initiated the development of a new rotorcraft design, which was later expanded and enhanced for increased versatility in the market. Positioned as the successor to the Alouette III, the Gazelle shared similarities with its predecessor while introducing a groundbreaking innovation—the use of fenestron. This marked the Gazelle as the first helicopter to incorporate this modification. Powered by a Turbomeca Astazou turbine engine, the Gazelle featured a three-blade rotor. The SA 341G, a later civil variant, utilized a Turbomeca Astazou IIIA engine, with some aircraft produced featuring an extended fuselage for enhanced passenger comfort.
