Airbus Helicopters has delivered the first of
two H145M multipurpose helicopters for defence and security
missions to the Government of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.
Powered by two Safran Arriel 2E engines, the
H145M is equipped with full authority digital engine control
(FADEC) and the Helionix digital avionics suite.
With a maximum take-off weight of 3.7 tonnes, the H145M can be used for a wide
range of tasks, including troop and passenger transport,
surveillance, air rescue, reconnaissance and medical evacuation.
The helicopter is equipped with a hoist, a fast
roping system, a high-performance camera, a search light, advanced
communication systems, and will have provisions to install a light
armour protection kit.
Together with the helicopters, Airbus also
provides a training and support package to its customer. The
delivery of the second helicopter is scheduled before the end of
the year. The delivered H145M is the first H145 in Luxembourg.
The helicopter will be
operated and serviced at Luxembourg Findel Airport.
