Airbus H135 - meet the most popular lightweight helicopter

This is a video presentation of the Airbus H135 helicopter.

Airbus H135 is a twin-engine, light utility helicopter, produced by Airbus Helicopters.

It is capable of flight under instrument flight rules and is outfitted with a digital automatic flight control system.

It is mainly used for helicopter emergency medical services, corporate transport, law enforcement, offshore wind support, and military flight training.

More than 1,400 helicopters have been delivered so far, half of them are in Europe and a quarter in North America.

It is powered by 2 Pratt and Whitney engines or two Safran Helicopter Engines, and it can reach a top speed of 259 km/h.

The maximum range is 633 km, the maximum altitude is 2195 m, while the maximum endurance time, can go up to 3 hours and 36 minutes.

It can accommodate 2 pilots and up to 6 passengers.

The H135 is known for its endurance, compact build, low sound levels, reliability, versatility and cost-competitiveness.

It comes with the lowest operating and maintenance costs in its class. This twin-engine helicopter can perform different missions, and can land almost anywhere, particularly in high and hot conditions, while carrying more payload over longer distances than other rotorcraft in its category.

The state-of-the-art cockpit, with its new 4-axis autopilot, provides the highest possible safety levels. The Helionix avionics system designed by Airbus ,offers operators undisputed superiority for in-flight envelope protection, pilot assistance and situational awareness – resulting in unprecedented flight safety levels.

It can be fitted with a night vision goggle,friendly cockpit, cabin layouts and exterior lighting.

Further contributing to operational safety, are the rotorcraft’s high-set main rotor, and the Fenestron shrouded tail rotor.

As one of the quietest helicopters in its class, the H135’s sound footprint is markedly lower than that of other helicopters in the same category.

This matters most to customers who regularly operate in, or over cities and in densely populated areas, such as in corporate transport, emergency medical services and law enforcement.

For example, it is allowed to fly in the United States’ Grand Canyon, which has one of the country’s most stringent noise limitations.

The H135 is the benchmark for maintenance costs, thanks to its long inspection intervals, intermediate inspection at 500 flight hours, and periodic inspections every 1,000 hours, or three years.

The estimated unit price varies between $3M and $4M.
