The H135 is a light twin-engine helicopter that combines compact design with Airbus’ Helionix avionics for emergency medical services, law enforcement, utility, private business (PBA), military training and offshore energy operations. With the lowest operating and maintenance costs in its class and inspection intervals of 500 flight hours, the H135 delivers mission flexibility where operational efficiency and confined area access are critical.
Equipped with FADEC-controlled engine options (Safran Arrius 2B2 Plus or Pratt & Whitney PW206B3) and featuring a 4-axis autopilot with flight envelope protection and synthetic vision system, the H135 maintains availability rates exceeding 95% for critical missions. Part of a family with over 1,600 aircraft delivered to 325+ operators globally and 8 million flight hours accumulated, the platform has established a proven operational record across decades of civil and governmental service including more than 700 dedicated EMS helicopters worldwide.
An outstanding performer
Fitted with a bearingless main rotor, Airbus’ signature Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor, the H135 provides best-in-class performance throughout its flight envelope.
Two full authority digital engine control (FADEC)-equipped engine options are available: Safran Helicopter Engines’ Arrius 2B2 Plus and Pratt & Whitney Canada’s 206B3. Both of these reliable turboshaft power plants provide outstanding performance and vital power reserves – even in one engine inoperative (OEI) scenarios – along with low fuel consumption.
