EC-635
Back
The EC 635 – Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) is the military version of the EC 135 and applies the same latest technology.
The EC 635 is a light-weight twin-engined, eight seats multi – role helicopter with wide use of composite material and crashworthy designed seats and fuel system. New generation high set main rotor and shrouded tail rotor systems (Fenestron type) provide low noise and safe operation.
High operational efficiency, adverse weather day / night operations, high performance with power reserve and an advanced maintenance concept are among the key features of the EC 635.
The military EC 635 is offered with two powerplant options. The powerful and FADEC controlled Turbomeca Arrius 2B1 or the Pratt & Whitney 206B engines provide superior single / twin engine performance, fast cruising speed and long range and make the EC 635 a high-class performer in all climatic and operational conditions.
Utilising the aircraft’s inherent multi – role capability the EC 635 is well suited for military and para – military operations as utility, training, troop transport, reconnaissance and SAR.
The helicopter’s spacious, unobstructed cabin accessible through side sliding doors and two large rear clam-shell doors, is particularly well suited for disaster relief missions and humanitarian aid for the population.
