Eurocopter
EC-135

Back


This lightweight twin-engine multi-role helicopter distinguishes remarkably in its category.

It is capable of carrying 1 pilot and 6/7 passengers. Newest technology is applied like a bearingless main rotor (BMR), high performance main rotor blades and low noise ducted tail rotor (Fenestron).

Outstanding flying quality, comfort and manoeuvrability is ensured while its external noise emission is 7dbA lower than the maximun level authorized by the ICAO.

The roomy cabin provides optimum comfort and safety due to the ARIS system and the crash-resistant seats.

The helicopter is proposed, at the customer's request in two versions: The EC 135 P1, powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW 206 B or the EC 135 T1 powered by two Turbomeca Arrius 2B1 turbine engines of similar characteristics, which enable it to operate in any conditions with temperature ranging from -45 °C to + 50°C.

Fadec controlled engines with high OEI ratings allow unlimited operations under European JAR performance Class 1.

The EC 135 is definitely tomorrow's reference for lightweight twin-engine helicopters.
