Eurocopter has lined up flying displays at the Paris Air Show next week. On all days of the air show, the highly advanced Eurocopter Tiger combat helicopter will perform impressive display flights.
At the company’s static display (No. G), Eurocopter will exhibit the most successful helicopters of its product range: the AS355NP -- the latest model of the famous Ecureuil family -- EC135, EC145, EC155, EC225, and EC725 - in various commercial, parapublic, and military configurations - alongside the multi-role HAP Tiger combat support helicopter. In the adjacent area, the first Swedish NH90 in its high cabin version and a German NH90 TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) version will be presented by NHIndustries, the NH90 consortium in which Eurocopter holds 62,5%. In each of their respective categories, these helicopters show the very broad spectrum of Eurocopter’s technical and mission capabilities.
Eurocopter helicopters are present in all market segments like the oil & gas market, surveillance & law enforcement missions by police, customs, coast guards, border patrols, firefighting missions, medical evacuation, patients’ transport, corporate/VIP transportation, utility segment and military market.
The company is planning contract signatures and aircraft hand-overs to customers at the show. Eurocopter is sharing a booth (Hall 2A, No. 18) where some helicopter mock-ups are shown, as well as a chalet (Pavilion A420-426, by invitation only) with its parent company, EADS. Journalists are invited to visit Eurocopter’s press team at the joint EADS/Eurocopter press chalet, Row B, No. 177-179.
