Denel XTP-1 Beta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Denel XTP-1 Beta was an Aerospatiale SA.330 Puma converted by Denel (Atlas) Aircraft Corporation as gunship for testing and evaluation of the Rooivalk's dynamic systems. Two of these Puma modifications were built, both having stub wings that carried two underwing pylons and one wingtip store. One XTP-1 Beta was seen on display with two rocket/gun pods on the pylons of each wing, underbelly 20mm GA-1 turret, and a refueling probe on the nose at the starboard side. It was referred to as "Puma XPTI".
