Airbus Helicopter H135

The Airbus H135 (formerly EC135) is one of the most widely used twin-engine light helicopters in rescue, police and utility operations worldwide.

Designed for urban environments and demanding mission profiles, the H135 combines low acoustic signature, high reliability and advanced avionics.

Its hingeless, bearingless main rotor system and Fenestron® tail rotor reduce vibration and maintenance requirements while improving safety in confined areas.
