Month-Long Demonstration Tour Includes Visits To Five Cities

The H145 has arrived in Brazil for a customer tour to demonstrate the capabilities of this enhanced Airbus Helicopters rotorcraft in land-based and offshore service.

During visits to the cities of São Paulo, Curitiba, Brasília, Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro, the H145 will be presented to civilian and offshore operators, along with governmental and military agencies.

The H145 – previously known as the EC145 T2 – has been upgraded to improve performance in hot and high conditions, augment its flight characteristics, provide lower noise levels, reduce pilot workload and further enhance operational safety. Features include the incorporation of Airbus Helicopters’ signature Fenestron shrouded tail rotor, application of the company-developed Helionix avionics suite, and the use of new Turbomeca Arriel 2 E engines with dual-channel FADEC digital controls.

“By combining the EC145 family’s proven performance with Airbus Helicopters’ continued focus on product development, the H145 is a powerful, comfortable, modern and versatile multi-purpose rotorcraft already coming with a large range of optional to perform a broad mission spectrum," said Mesrob Karalekian, Airbus Helicopters’ Vice-President - Head of Latin America region. “We expect the H145 to have the same success in Brazil as it has already seen in other countries."
