The PZL W-3 Sok�ł is the first helicopter to be fully designed and mass produced in Poland.

This aircraft is certificated in Poland, Russia, the US (FAR Part 29) and Germany.

The Sok�ł is of conventional design and construction, with two PZL-10W turboshafts, which are based on the PZL-10S - licensed Russian designed TVD-10B turboprops that power the Polish-built An-28. Composites are used in the three-bladed tail and four-bladed main rotors.

The Sok�ł is offered in a number of variants and is capable of performing a typical range of helicopter missions, including passenger transport, VIP, cargo, EMS, medevac, firefighting and search and rescue.

NOTE: There is a PZL W-3 upgrade available to bring various versions of the PZL-W3 Sok�ł‚ up to 21st century standards by including advanced avionic systems (Glass cockpit configuration) and other changes like FADEC-equipped engines or FLIR.
