Built using composite materials, the EC-135 is a modern technology helicopter incorporating the latest in modular cockpit design and Anti-Resonance Isolation Systems etc. The tail-rotor has been replaced with a 10-blade advanced Fenestron and the helicopter incorporates the latest bearingless main rotor system. It can be powered with either Pratt & Whitney 206B, or Turbomeca Arrius 1B1 powerplants managed through a FADEC control system.
With an all-up-weight of 2485kg, the EC-135 has a larger cabin area than the Bo.108 and has been designed to accommodate seven adults or five in luxury club seats. Intended to replace the successful Bo.105 series, the EC-135 has been designed for reduced operator costs and to provide ease of maintenance.
