Eurocopter komt met 3 toestellen en 2 schaalmodellen naar de Dubai Airshow.
Militaire helikopters EC725 en NH90 zullen als schaalmodel aanwezig zijn. Van de EC725 zijn er wereldwijd 130 besteld en van de NH90 zijn er meer dan 160 geleverd. Ook Nederland vliegt met dit type. Laatst was hij nog in het nieuws wegens het stoppen van een drugstransport.
Eurocopter neemt verder de EC145, EC175 en AS350 mee. Van de AS350 vliegen er wereldwijd meer dan 3500. “The AS350 outclasses all other single-engine helicopters for performance, versatility, safety – all with competitive acquisition and maintenance costs. It is the U.S. market’s no. 1 choice for law enforcement agencies and helicopter emergency medical service providers.”
