The H120’s state-of-the-art ergonomic cockpit, complete with a dual LCD-screen Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD), greatly decreases the pilot’s workload and its Safran Arrius 2F engine offers very low fuel consumption. Its Spheriflex® main rotor head, all-composite blades and Fenestron® tail rotor increases safety, simplifies maintenance tasks and reduces the noise level to 6.7 dB below ICAO limits, making the H120 by far the quietest helicopter in its class.
The H120 can comfortably carry up to 4 passengers and 1 pilot, all on energy absorbing seats. The wide cabin, generous visibility and large luggage compartment make this aircraft ideal for a variety of missions. With very low operating costs and outstanding performance, the H120 is the most efficient aircraft in its class.
In Canada, the H120 is widely used by law enforcement agencies, private and corporate customers and training schools from coast-to-coast who benefit daily from its quiet operation, high maneuverability and enhanced safety features.
The H120 plays a large role in the utility sector, thanks to its dependability, efficiency, quietness, comfort and safety. Designed with the word “adaptability” in mind, this aircraft will be able to perform your mission no matter what task you throw at it. The H120’s simplicity is the key to its versatility–it can be configured and easily reconfigured and comes with a large list of optional equipment for a variety of utility missions.
