| Eurocopter highlights Product Efficiency and growing Scope of Services at Heli-Expo 2009 First Presentation of EC175 Corporate Interior Concept |
|
EC175
Eurocopter has re-configured its EC175
full-scale mock-up - first unveiled at Heli-Expo 2008 - as a concept
demonstrator for corporate missions, inviting customers and media to
experience its interior layout and aiming at listening to future market
needs. With 111 EC175s ordered at last year’s Heli-Expo by Oil and Gas
operators, the company strives to obtain customer proposals and
requirements for other missions, notably for corporate and executive
transport missions, while keeping the aircraft easy to retrofit and
fully reversible for a variety of missions and economical solutions.
The
EC175 is a multi-role helicopter that can fulfill a large scope of
missions including Oil & Gas transport, Search and Rescue (SAR),
Public Services (Homeland Security & Law Enforcement, EMS, Air
Ambulance), as well as top-of-the-line business and commercial
aviation. It is the roomiest, safest, easiest to fly, cheapest to
maintain, most comfortable, most cost-effective workhorse in its class.
And, it is designed to be eco-friendly from the outset.
Light Helicopter Family
Eurocopter’s
large family of light single-engine and twin-engine helicopters remains
the preferred choice of customers worldwide due its extraordinary
mission flexibility. The AS350, EC135 and EC145 each offer top
performance in their respective classes while up to 50 optional
equipment kits for each of these aircraft make them simple to retrofit
and suitable for a multitude of mission requirements.
Support, Services and Training
A
large portion of Eurocopter’s booth is devoted to new customer support,
services and training offers. In line with its goal to become a full
mission solutions provider rather than being just a helicopter
manufacturers, Eurocopter has invested heavily in full-flight
simulators, flight training devices and training aids, successively
installing these in all its key markets around the world in response to
customer requirements. Combined with a multitude of technical courses
offered at the company’s Training Academies, the simulator capabilities
serve to significantly enhance flight safety, this being a key priority
for Eurocopter. With new logistics hubs in Europe, the United States
and Hong Kong, the company has also ramped up its service capabilities
to provide round-the-clock support to its customers around the globe.
