Airbus Helicopters H135 / Eurocopter EC135 T2 Description

Ever get stuck in traffic? The Airbus Helicopters H135 takes urban travel to a whole new level. Forget about crammed spaces; this twin-engine beauty offers way more room than you'd expect. Imagine six adults chilling out comfortably in its spacious cabin that’s 1.5 meters wide and 1.87 meters long. Sure, you might not be able to stand up straight (the headroom is 1.26 meters), but the smart design makes it feel super open and welcoming, a real win for its type. Enjoy some champagne while you fly; the quiet Fenestron tail rotor lets you chat without the usual noisy helicopter sounds. This little flyer can travel far. With a maximum range of 833 kilometers, it can easily take you directly from London to Paris or New York to Washington D.C., skipping all the hassle of airports. Need to get to a remote location or avoid traffic for an important meeting? The H135 handles that easily. Pilots love the advanced Helionix avionics, which are user-friendly and make flying smoother and safer by cutting down on their workload. It’s not just about arriving; it’s about getting there feeling good and ready. You don’t have to give up luxury for practicality. The comfy leather seats make for a plush ride, and the big windows let you take in stunning views. That 1.0 cubic meter baggage compartment? It can easily fit golf bags, briefcases, and weekend bags. Operators appreciate its flexibility: one moment it's taking businesspeople to a conference, and the next it's outfitted for urgent air ambulance services thanks to its large sliding doors and flat floor. Think of the H135 T2 as the ideal urban workhorse that’s got style too. It handles short to medium distances with incredible agility, runs quietly, and the cabin is built for real comfort. For those who want efficiency without losing out on luxury or capability, this helicopter really delivers, making travel shorter and opening up new opportunities.
