The PZL W-3 Sokół (Polish for "Falcon") is a Polish medium-size, twin-engine, multipurpose helicopter manufactured by PZL-Świdnik (now AgustaWestland Świdnik). The W-3 Sokół is the first helicopter to be fully designed and serial-built in Poland. Work on the project was started at WSK PZL Świdnik in 1973 by the team of Stanisław Kamiński. The Sokół made its first flight on November 16, 1979, and has since been certificated in Poland, Russia, the US and Germany. Design of W-3 was definetely inspired by soviet Mil Mi-2 Hoplite helicopter having a licensed production on the territory of Poland, on PZL facility, since 1962 during all the period when Poland was a participant of Eastern-European Communist block. About 150 aircraft were built, operated as civilian and military purpose in several countries.
