Airbus Group Civil Helicopter H120

Designed with simplicity in mind, the H120 (formerly known as the EC120 B) is both user-friendly and versatile. Its performance, comfort, cost-effectiveness and low noise profile make this lightweight helicopter the choice of private customers, corporations, law enforcement agencies and governments. Backed by experience and a long heritage The H120 is a member of Airbus Helicopters' light Colibri family of aircraft. It draws on the company’s 50+ years of experience designing, manufacturing and supporting light single-engine helicopters. Some 700 Colibris have been delivered in 50 plus countries, with more than 600 being in-service worldwide today.. With more than 400 operators, these aircraft have collectively surpassed 1.5 million flight hours. Comfortable, quiet and panoramic The H120 comfortably seats one pilot and four passengers inside a wide, unobstructed cabin with ample leg room and air conditioning. Exceptionally low vibration levels provide additional comfort, and its third generation Fenestron® tail rotor make this rotorcraft the quietest in its class. Adding to this helicopter’s appeal is a panoramic view through the expansive glass windshield and side windows, providing unmatched visibility for all those aboard. State-of-the-art technology The H120 integrates technologies more advanced than any other light single-engine helicopter in its class in the world. These advances help make the aircraft easier to fly, safer and more cost-effective. State-of-the-art technologies include the powerful Turbomeca Arrius 2F turboshaft engine, the bearingless Spheriflex®-type main rotor and Fenestron® tail rotor, and the sophisticated Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD®), which considerably reduces pilot workload. Safety by design The H120 is the only single-engine helicopter to meet the requirements of the new FAR/JAR 27 safety regulations, which include incorporation of crashworthy fuel systems and energy-attenuating fuel structures and seats. Simple and cost-effective maintenance The simple design of the H120 offers a new maintenance concept specifically adapted for modern light-helicopter operations. Most of the maintenance tasks can be performed by the operators themselves with a limited need for specific tools. This independent maintenance has considerably reduced the operating costs of the aircraft.
