AHI to showcase H135 for Navy

Airbus Helicopters Inc. (AHI) will showcase its H135 aircraft as a potential future training helicopter for the Navy at the Naval Helicopter Association’s Fleet Fly-in at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, Fla., from Oct. 22-26. “Airbus Helicopters is convinced the H135 is the best solution to prepare the next generation of U.S. Navy pilots for decades to come, both technically and economically,” said Chris Emerson, president of AHI’s North America region. “We look forward to demonstrating why this aircraft is the best solution for the Navy’s helicopter training needs.” AHI pilots will conduct orientation flights with military pilots and stakeholders to demonstrate H135’s capabilities at the fly-in.
