Eurocopter is a global leader in the civil and military
helicopter market, offering one of the most complete
and modern ranges of helicopters and related services.
Overall, the Division’s products account for 33%
of the total world civil and parapublic helicopter fleet.
EC225/EC725
The EC225/EC725 brings
Eurocopter’s latest rotor and
all-weather technology to the 11-ton
helicopter class. The EC225 flies for
offshore oil and gas services, VIP
transport, and search and rescue
services. Its military twin, the EC725,
is in service with the French Army
and Air Force. The twin-engine
helicopter is equipped with a
five-blade rotor and a large-capacity
fuel tank, providing enhanced
performance and a greater
flight endurance.
NH90
The NH90 medium-weight, multi-role
military helicopter has two basic
variants, the Tactical Transport
Helicopter and the NATO Frigate
Helicopter. The programme is
a co-development with Agusta-
Westland and Fokker Aerostructures
within NATO Helicopter Industries
(NHI). Eurocopter’s share of NHI is
62.5%. At the end of 2010, the NH90
programme had received 529 firm
orders from 14nations.
Tiger
The Tiger is a medium-weight
air-to-air combat and fire-support
helicopter, fitted with twin engines.
It includes four variants, based on
the same airframe, which have
been ordered by France, Germany,
Spain and Australia. Total deliveries
amounted to 70 as of the end of 2010.
Since 2009, the Tiger has been
deployed in Afghanistan by the
French Armed Forces with three
helicopters permanently on site
(1,600 flight hours).
EC135
The EC135 is a light twin-engine,
multi-mission helicopter made using
the latest carbon fibre technologies.
Variations have been designed
specifically for VIP transport, and for
rescue and police work. The EC135
has become the helicopter of choice
in the world of emergency medical
services (EMS). More than 800 of
these rotary-wing aircraft – including
400 in the EMS configuration – have
been delivered to 160 customers in
40 countries since the programme
was launched. At the end of 2010,
the EC135 held a 63% share in the
market for this category of aircraft.
