The Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) BO 105 is a series of utility helicopters, first flown in 1967 and was the world's first series-produced twin-turboshaft helicopter. In 1975 an improved model, the BO 105CB was released with Allison 250-C20B turboshafts, used by the Swedish army as an anti-tank helicopter, armed with eight BGM-71 TOW missiles, and by other nations in a maritime version. The BO 105 is manned by a crew of two comprising a pilot and weapons operator sitting side-by-side.
