It is argued that the A129 light attack helicopter represents the answer to modern and severe operational requirements. The main rotar hub and transmission are described as examples of unconventional and advanced technology design. The engine installation represents the case of a configuration where the operative requirement induced a deep physical integration among the subsystems. The large computer structure, the integrated multiplexing system based on the multiplexing and microprocessor technologies, constitutes a major example of functional integration between the helicopter and mission subsystem.
