H135
‘Multi-mission Flexibility’
The H135 is a powerful, lightweight, twin-engine multi-mission helicopter that showcases top-notch technology while offering low operating costs. The H135’s high endurance and extended range enables this helicopter to perform a full range of mission requirements, while carrying more payload over longer distances than any aircraft in its class. Incorporating a modern cockpit and avionics, as well as, Airbus Helicopters’ Fenestron® tail rotor and bearingless main rotor, the H135 is recognized for its high performance and outstanding maneuverability. It is one of the quietest helicopters in its class. The H135 is approximately 6.5 db below ICAO standards. This is of particular interest to operators regularly flying over cities and in densely-populated areas, including emergency medical services and law enforcement agencies.
Two FADEC-equipped engine options are available: Safran’s Arrius 2B2 “Plus” and the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW206B3. Both of these powerful, 
reliable turboshaft engines provide outstanding performance and vital reserves, even in one-engine inoperative scenarios, along with low fuel consumption. The H135’s simple, multi-purpose design, allowing for fast and easy maintenance and optimal dispatch reliability, is enhanced with an unrivaled variety of optional equipment.
The EC135 “i-Pac” Retrofit and the new “e” Upgrade are available to enhance your EC135.
With this new improvement package, existing customers will benefit from:
- more payload
- increased take off power
- improved hot and high performances

modern avionics, Fenestron® anti-torque device and a bearingless main rotor system, provide outstanding performance and maneuverability. Quiet and more cost effective to operate than any other twin-engine helicopter in its class, this aircraft is also equipped with safety equipment such as energy-absorbing fuselage and passenger and crew seats, along with crash-resistant fuel cells.
A light, multipurpose twin-engine helicopter with an advanced design and state-of-the-art technology. The H135 is the reference helicopter for EMS and public services, thanks to its performance, cabin flexibility and capabilities. The H135 is also a trendsetter in the business aviation market thanks to its comfort, versatility and exclusive Hermes design.
The highly successful H135 lends itself readily to perform all types of EMS and disaster management SAR missions. Its design offers a lightweight cockpit layout, compact dimensions, excellent outside visibility, as well as, a modular flexible cabin arrangement. Loading and unloading is carried out quickly and easily on either side or at the rear, through the extra-large sliding doors or rear clamshell doors. Even during winching operations, patients can be easily transferred into the hovering helicopter. In addition, the H135’s external noise level—below the strictest regulatory specifications—allows for operation in close approach to hospitals, which are often situated in highly populated areas.
H135 is an effective platform for:
The H135’s panoramic visibility, exceptional maneuverability, range, twin-engine performance, safety, and large cabin make this helicopter perfectly suited for the most demanding oil and gas operations. The powerful and reliable engines provide outstanding performance and vital power reserves, even in one-engine inoperative (OEI) scenarios. The H135 features other safety aspects, such as energy-absorbing fuselage and seats, along with crash-resistant fuel cells. Its state-of-the-art avionics considerably reduce pilot workload, allowing them to focus on the mission ahead. The simple design of the H135 allows for fast and easy maintenance, thereby ensuring optimal dispatch availability. Finally, the H135’s proven
The H135 offers numerous possibilities for utility operators. It is especially adapted to utility missions with its powerful category A, FADEC-equipped engines, roomy cabin with sliding doors and low sensitivity to wind. In addition, it provides a high external cargo hook capacity.
Some examples of utility missions that the H135 can perform includes:
Whatever action the law enforcement mission requires, the H135 offers the perfect solution. With its compact size and shrouded tail rotor, the H135 can land in confined areas. Its wide, unobstructed cabin offers increased visibility for observation operations. Mission flexibility, low noise, reduced maintenance, operational costs and higher availability are among the many reasons why so many police operators have already chosen the H135 for their daily operations.
Observation and airborne surveillance
H135 passengers enjoy an exceptionally fast, smooth ride, thanks to its bearingless main rotor and innovative Fenestron® tail rotor system. The H135’s high set main rotor and the shrouded tail rotor enhance safety for passengers and ground crews. The oversized side-sliding doors enable passengers to easily board and exit. In addition, the helicopter’s rear clamshell doors make luggage storage simple. The H135 offers unsurpassed external visibility during flight where passengers can sit back and soak up the extraordinary view. With its low noise and vibration levels, the atmosphere is both pleasant and restful for passengers and crew.
