Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Helicopter Eurocopter EC135

Deliveries began in 1996. Successive P and T versions used different engines and upgrades; later aircraft adopted the H135 name. These figures use the EC135 T2+ as a reference, rather than the latest H135.

Helicopter H125

The H125 is a single-engine helicopter for transfers, sightseeing and selected mountain destinations. Its compact cabin normally seats four to six passengers, depending on the interior and crew.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The EC135 combined a compact twin-engine design with an enclosed tail rotor and a cabin adaptable to several roles. Its medical and public-service use encouraged a practical layout with good access, while executive interiors used the same space for passenger comfort. Over time, Eurocopter improved engines and equipment; Airbus later continued the family under the H135 name.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.28 m.

Will my helicopter have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.

When should I consider this model?
