The EC145 (formerly known as EC145e) is at the top of its class in the light twin-engine helicopter category, incorporating Airbus Helicopters' advanced cockpit design, avionics and a sophisticated electrical system.

The aircraft is a member of the proven EC145 family, which today has logged over one million flight hours with its fleet of more than 650 aircraft worldwide.

The EC145 is equipped with two Turbomeca Arriel 1E2 engines that deliver outstanding performance and vital power reserves – even in one-engine-inoperative (OEI) scenarios. Its reliability is further enhanced by a completely separate fuel system, a tandem hydraulic system, a dual electrical system and redundant lubrication for the main transmission.

It is certified for single pilot VFR (visual flight rules) day and night operation.
