The component commonality with Eurocopter light helicopters’ range makes the EC130B4 a proven aircraft with high performance. Its high technology and its simple design provide the operators with an extremely high rate of availability.
The result is a reliable helicopter that can aspire to be the proud successor of the Allouette III.
The light single engine EC130 B4 benefits from the proven experience of the Ecureuil family. It integrates the most advanced technological innovations of Eurocopter’s latest generation helicopters: a new tailboom with the latest generation quiet Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor, a dual channel FADEC unit with a third independent channel for engine control, an automatic variable main rotor speed system to reduce external noise, and a dual hydraulic system from the AS355 N. It is fully equipped with a VFR day radio navigation system (standard “ready to fly” package) associated with an integrated instrument panel (double color screen VEMD and GPS) and is also capable of night VFR operations (optional equipment). All these innovations make the EC130 B4 the safest and the most high-tech aircraft in its category.
A continually improving support structure that is both responsive and sensitive to individual operational concerns. Efficiency and flexibility are also key elements in the support of Eurocopter products across the globe.
