Aerospatiale SA365N DAUPHIN 2?As a replacement for the  “Skylark?”Helicopter, Aerospatiale started planning the “Dauphin”  helicopter between 1968 and 1969. In June 1972 the prototype test flight was conducted. The SA365N , whose maiden fight was made in March  1979,was the modified version of SA365C. There were a number of  modifications made such as enlarging the rear fotor and changes to the  nose, cabin door and blades. Further changes from the SA360 Dauphin were made, including the use of twin engines instead of a single.
