EUROCOPTER EC135
Eurocopter EC 135 is a twin-engine multi-purpose helicopter powered by a turboshaft engine. Thanks to the Fenestron, which replaced the classic type of tail rotor, it excels in low noise emition and, due to its wide range of uses, low operating costs.
The EC 135 helicopter is widely used by the HEMS service and police forces in many countries around the world.
This machine received certification for Europe on June 16, 1996, and five years later 1,000 units were delivered.
