The SA.366G version was developed at the same time as the AS.365N. Designed in response to an order from the US Coast Guard, it differed primarily in using American Avco Lycoming LTS-101 engines. For the search and rescue missions for which it is intended, the aircraft has sophisticated avionics equipment by Collins. It has two sliding doors, a rescue hoist and can take three stretchers and four assistants. G.Apostolo "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Helicopters", 1984
FACTS AND FIGURES- Israel purchased two HH-65s, and in trials

fast patrol craft. - Two HH-65s are used by the US Navy test
centre at Patuxent River, Maryland. - Flotation bags allow waterborne ditchings
in bad weather - up to sea state five. - The Dolphin was criticised for lacking
power in hot and high conditions, but a

a rescue diver for special missions. - Dolphins were purchased to replace
the elderly Sikorsky HH-52.
