Airbus Helicopters plans to unveil its all-new X4 rotorcraft at Heli-Expo next week.
The X4 is to be unveiled March 3 at 11 a.m. EST at Airbus Helicopters’ Heli-Expo booth in the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida. As the first next-generation rotorcraft rolled out under the Airbus Helicopters identity, the company said in a news release that the X4 "embodies the company’s values of excellence, agility, unity and integrity."
Incorporating Airbus Helicopters’ expertise in aerodynamics, rotor blade design and avionics, the twin-engine X4 is an all-new medium-sized aircraft capable of a full range of civil and parapublic missions.
“The X4’s public debut is one of the most anticipated events at Heli-Expo 2015, and we look forward to the excitement of sharing our vision for the future,” said President Guillaume Faury.
“This year’s Heli-Expo will demonstrate Airbus Helicopters’ unwavering commitment to our priorities of
customer satisfaction, quality, safety and competiveness,” Faury said.
Also to be introduced at Heli-Expo is Airbus Helicopters’ redefined services offer with enhanced warranty conditions, along with a new approach for material management service and the supply of spare parts. This offer puts the priorities on customer satisfaction by committing to quality and performance, while ensuring safety and operational availability.
The company says these developments are aligned with the its transformation plan, which has been implemented to provide highly efficient helicopter solutions for customers around the world.
