In service since 2015, Airbus’ H175 belongs to the super-medium class of helicopters – combining long range with smooth flight qualities. It takes customers to the next level in terms of comfort, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
The H175 addresses several missions, including:
Offshore crew change
Law enforcement
Search and rescue (SAR)
Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS)
Private and business aviation
Government VVIP
A world record-setter
The H175 is a record-setting helicopter, establishing a time-to-climb record of 6,000 metres in 6 min., 54 sec., as well as a time-to-climb record of 3,000 metres in 3 min., 10 sec.
Fast, smooth and comfortable
Airbus’ H175 combines high speed (above 155 kts) with smooth flight qualities, excellent payload and cabin comfort.
The H175’s extended, air-conditioned cabin provides the most volume and window surface per passenger in its class. A maximum of four passengers can be seated per row. Vibration and sound levels are low, even at high cruise speeds, contributing to a smooth flight.
Performing beyond expectations
Contributing to the H175’s competitive edge is its capacity to perform long-range missions at a fast cruise speed of 155 kts while maintaining a large payload. With a standard fuel tank capacity of over 2 tonnes, the H175 offers flexibility to operators for range and endurance. The H175 also excels in hot climates with an extensive power reserve and heli-deck performance (PC1) at maximum takeoff weight in ISA+20°C conditions.
