The design of the Agusta A.105 helicopter began in 1961 by the Italian aircraft manufacturers from Agusta. In just three years, the aircraft developers managed to create a very attractive design, as well as design the helicopter in such a way that it could receive a multipurpose purpose, in particular, it was initially assumed that this model would be operated exclusively in the civil aviation sector, however, ultimately, the project could also be applied in the military sphere, however, very limitedly, since the helicopter could only be used for a small number of auxiliary tasks and purposes, for example, for observation flights and patrol work.

The first test flight of the model aircraft Agusta A.105 took place in October 1964 year, with the aircraft successfully completed all the required tests, however, the project was launched a little later, as in the final stage, the aircraft designers decided on the need to finalize the project , in particular. The interior space of the cockpit was expanded, which allowed the transportation of four people, while initially the helicopter was to become a two-seater option. Nevertheless, the helicopter did not begin to be produced serially, which was explained by the lack of interest from potential customers, and this applies to both civil and military aviation.
