Airbus Helicopters' 2-ton H125M (formerly the AS550 C3e Fennec) responds to military requirements for a cost-effective armed platform with a very small footprint and excellent maneuverability. As the most capable armed scout helicopter in its category, the single-engine H125M combines power, discretion and targeted firepower.
A versatile airborne platform
The H125M is tailored for locating and attacking targets of opportunity. It relies on the qualities of power, simplicity, firing stability and stealth to carry out a diverse range of demanding missions.
Able to fly discretely in the battlefield with a small silhouette, the Fennec has a reduced radar signature through the use of composite materials and low infrared-reflective paint.
This helicopter benefits from the excellent handling characteristics and easy-to-fly qualities that are inherent in Airbus Helicopters’ single-engine Ecureuil family – which holds the world altitude record (landing on Mount Everest at 8,850 meters), and is fully operational in high-and-hot environments.
Built for performance Fitted with Turbomeca’s powerful Arriel 2D engine with a dual-channel Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system, the H125M is well suited to perform combat flights.
In the cockpit, Airbus Helicopters’ Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD®) provides accurate information on the aircraft’s condition and performance, dramatically reducing crew workload.
