Fitted with a bearingless main rotor, Airbus’ signature Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor, engine software modifications, the H135 provides additional payload and delivers best-in-class performance throughout its flight envelope.
The both engines provide outstanding performance and vital power reserves – even in one-engine inoperative scenarios – along with low fuel consumption.
The H135’s state-of-the-art cockpit environment provides the highest possible safety levels. The avionics system designed by Airbus offers operators undisputed superiority for pilot assistance and situational awareness – resulting in unprecedented flight safety levels.
As one of the quietest helicopters in its class, the H135’s noise footprint is markedly lower than older-generation helicopters in the same category.
The H135 remains a reference in emergency medical services (EMS) providing ample room for single-patient or dual-patient transport.
