10. NH90 (France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands)
Five European nations consisting of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom agreed to the production of a NATO helicopter in 1985. Two initial versions were produced. One was for autonomous anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare (the NH90 NFH) and the other for general transport and rescue (the NH90 TTH). The UK dropped out before production began. Currently, this helicopter is in service in France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
However the NH90 has also been exported to various countries including Australia, Oman and Sweden. It is able to carry around 20 troops while its payload is a maximum of 5,000kg internally or 4,200 externally.
