All New Airbus H140 helicopter officially revealed!

Introducing the all new Airbus H140, a 3-tonne multi-mission helicopter that complements Airbus Helicopters' current light twin portfolio for the emergency medical services, passenger transport, and private and business aviation markets.

The Airbus H140 features a wide range of innovations, including a new T-shaped tail boom with an optimised Fenestron that reduces sound levels, a five-blade bearingless main rotor, and new powerful engines.

It is powered by the Safran Arrius 2E 700 engine, offering the best payload-range in its class. The two engines of the helicopter are managed by a dual-channel full-authority digital engine control system, guaranteeing unprecedented levels of performance in all engines operative operations and considerable power reserves in one engine inoperative scenarios.

The helicopter also features a larger cabin space, large windows and optimised cabin layout that can accommodate up to six passengers comfortably. Designed with accessibility in mind, thanks to the large clamshell doors and the high tail boom, the H140’s rear loading capabilities allow the use of different types of stretcher systems including intensive care ones and transport incubators while its large sliding doors facilitate access to the cabin.

The entry into service of the helicopter is planned in 2028 for the emergency medical services segment.
