The Gazelle has three-bladed, fully articulated rotor. However it was one of
the first (if not the first) to utilize the Fenestron tail rotor system.

Check out the movie Blue Thunder to see it up close (albeit somehwat
modified).

I saw in the site http://www.helis.com/timeline/aerospatiale2.php that the
gazelle was the first helicopter with fenestron and also incorporated a
rigid
main rotor as the BO105's,

I never saw a gazelle so close how for to detail its main rotor,
is this true?, the gazelle has a rigid main rotor similar to the BO105's.
