The Airbus H145 is the latest member of the company’s four-tonne-class twin-engine rotorcraft product range. It has has quickly become one of the industry’s leading helicopters, with built-in mission capability and flexibility, especially in high and hot operating conditions.
Compact in size, this helicopter’s small footprint and large, flexible cabin make it the aircraft of choice for a variety of civil and military missions.
Flexible and proven
The H145’s compact footprint, unobstructed cabin and flat floor from nose to tail lend themselves to a full range of applications, accommodating one or two pilots and up to eight passengers in the standard configuration, or one or two pilots and up to 10 passengers in a higher-density configuration.
A wide range of rapidly- and easily-interchangeable optional equipment – 400+ is available for the H145. Together with its inherently versatile cabin layout, this multi-purpose rotorcraft is tailored for emergency medical services and law enforcement duties, along with aerial work and passenger transportation, including private and business aviation as well as offshore operations.
In 2020, a new innovative version of the H145 entered service equipped with a five-bladed main rotor. This new H145 embodies a major customer expectation: the ability to operate an aircraft with a great useful load. On that point, the H145 is over-performing, and surpassing all the competitors in its class. The latest version of Airbus’ H145 family has increased the useful load by 150 kg compared to the previous version, leading to the best ratio of useful load to maximum takeoff weight (50%) for a light twin helicopter.
