The Airbus Helicopters H215 (formerly Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma) is a four-bladed, twin-engine, medium-size utility helicopter developed and marketed originally by Aérospatiale, later by Eurocopter and currently by Airbus Helicopters.
It is a re-engined and more voluminous version of the original Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma.
First flying in 1978, the Super Puma succeeded the SA 330 Puma as the main production model of the type in 1980.
Since 1990, Super Pumas in military service have been marketed under the AS532 Cougar designation.
