The H135M (formerly known as the EC635 T2e/P2e) is the enhanced military version of Airbus Helicopters’ 3-ton-class EC135 twin-engine rotorcraft for operations in today’s modern battlefield. Thanks to a highly adaptable airframe, the H135M is capable of performing a large variety of missions, including ground fire support, utility, and medical evacuation.
The military workhorse
The H135M’s diverse selection of optional equipment – including an incremental weapons system – makes this aircraft extremely versatile and the perfect platform for duties such as armed scout, light utility, command and control, and training missions. Its large, unobstructed cabin, oversized sliding side doors and rear clamshell doors enable rapid loading/unloading – even with the rotors turning – which facilitates operations during time-sensitive missions.
The proven performer
Fitted with Airbus Helicopters’ signature Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor and bearingless main rotor, this twin-engine helicopter delivers excellent performance, range and payload capacity. The sophisticated avionics system, which features Airbus Helicopters innovations such as the Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD), ensures that pilots focus exclusively on their mission. These technologies dramatically simplify the pilot’s workload, while increasing mission efficiency and flight safety. The H135M designations signify availability of two engine options: Turbomeca’s Arrius 2B2 for the H135M; and Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PWC 206B2 for the H135M, both fitted with full authority digital engine controls (FADEC).
Survivable
With a mechanically-resilie
nt design – including redundant electrical, oil cooling and hydraulic systems, as well as a large array of optional defensive equipment – the H135M provides a reference in survivability. In addition, the crashworthy and energy-absorbing fuselage was designed to support passenger and crew safety.
