Displaying Innovative Airbus Helicopter Products and Services at the Inaugural European Rotors Event
At the European Rotors 2025 exhibition in Cologne, Airbus Helicopters is demonstrating its commitment to leading rotorcraft innovation. The event, scheduled for 16-18 November 2021, serves as a platform to showcase the company's latest products, services, and initiatives.
Highlighted Products and Initiatives
Airbus Helicopters is exhibiting several key products, including the CityAirbus NextGen, the H145, and the light twin ACH125. The CityAirbus NextGen is Airbus Helicopters' flagship electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) model, designed for urban air mobility. It focuses on sustainability and efficient inner-city aerial transport, carrying up to four passengers in a zero emissions flight. A scale model of the CityAirbus NextGen will be showcased at European Rotors for the first time.
The H145 is a versatile twin-engine helicopter known for its advanced technologies. It is used for various mission-critical roles such as emergency medical services and law enforcement. A five-bladed H145 for medical evacuation operated by German air rescue service ADAC Luftrettung will be on display. The latest upgrade of the H145 adds a new, innovative five-bladed rotor, increasing the useful load of the helicopter by 150 kg and easing maintenance operations.
The ACH125 (previously known as EC125) is a light single-engine helicopter appreciated for its reliability and performance in a variety of utility and private roles. The ACH125 features an ACH Line interior, designed for customers seeking performance and comfort.
Service Offerings and Urban Air Mobility
Airbus Helicopters is also highlighting its comprehensive HCare service offerings. These digital and maintenance services support operators with predictive maintenance, tailored fleet services, and lifecycle management to maximize uptime and reduce costs. The HCare area of Airbus Helicopters' stand at European Rotors will showcase the entire HCare service offer, with a focus on new packages for legacy operators and operators of Helionix aircraft.
Airbus’s Urban Air Mobility initiatives encompass the development and integration of eVTOLs like CityAirbus NextGen, aiming at creating efficient, clean urban transport solutions through partnerships and ecosystem development. Urban Air Mobility with electric vehicles is part of Airbus's roadmap towards zero emission air travel.
Reconnecting and Learning
Airbus Helicopters will use European Rotors to reconnect with customers, partners, suppliers, and industry players in person. Showgoers at European Rotors will have the opportunity to learn about Airbus Helicopters' initiatives in sustainable aerospace, including the use of sustainable aviation fuel, hybridisation, and Urban Air Mobility.
The AirbusWorld collaborative customer platform now hosts the unique online Marketplace, which has expanded its helicopter parts and products portfolio and welcomed new vendors. Other highlights at European Rotors will include the latest developments in helicopter training.
In conclusion, Airbus Helicopters' presence at European Rotors 2025 underscores its dedication to leading rotorcraft innovation both in conventional helicopters and emerging electric air mobility markets. The event serves as a testament to Airbus Helicopters’ commitment to safety, sustainability, and advanced flight training in vertical lift aviation.
