Eurocopter EC 135

Eurocopter is betting the EC 135 will make a smooth transition from a leader in utility markets to the first choice in executive-configured helicopters as well.

The Eurocopter EC 135 features a full IFR avionics suite with glass displays from the French firm Thales and GPS/navcoms supplied by Garmin. The helicopter was among the first to be certified with full-authority digital engine controls.

Thanks to its large curving glass windows, the EC 135’s cockpit offers an excellent view that makes spotting traffic and seeing the touchdown zone a breeze.

Shown here with an executive interior outfitted with six seats in the main cabin, the EC 135 is a smallish twin-engine helicopter that can carry a heavy load.

Eurocopter has earned a reputation for providing top-notch U.S. product support through its American Eurocopter subsidiary based in Grand Prairie, Texas.
