The SA.390 has the distinction of being the first all-composite helicopter in Daneuberg even the earliest models also incorporate other advanced features such as a glass cockpit, stealth technology, reinforced metal armour, and high agility to increase its survivability. Improved variants have since entered service, outfitted with more powerful engines and compatible with a wider range of weapons, an environmental control system, a separated engine control system, a fly-by-wire and power-to-wire technology, Floodlights/Spotlights and a hotbox for upgraded performances.
