The arrival of the H160 at the Heli-Expo 2018 in Las Vegas represents its first presence at the international Airshow. The exhibition will take place between February 27 and March 1, 2018.

To display the capabilities of the aircraft to possible customers, daily shows will be performed during the expo.

Ben Bridge, Executive Vice President for Global Business said: “We are proud to be bringing the H160 prototype to Heli-Expo for the first time [...] This aircraft is emblematic of the company’s transformation in every domain from concept and design, to the revamped industrial production model enabling enhanced industrial maturity from entry into service, and capitalizing on key digital technologies for greater customer support and maintenance. All of this has been done with our customers’ priorities in mind, and we are excited that they will get to experience the H160 shortly with the US demo tour kicking off after the show.”

Alongside with the H160, Airbus Helicopters will present its H125, H135 and H145, at the airshow. The H125 will be in a law enforcement configuration, while the H135 is equipped with Helionix, the state-of-the-art avionics by Airbus. Finally, the H145 is being presented to the public in a business aviation configuration.

Furthermore, Airbus Helicopters will display a mock-up of “CityAirbus”, which is a self-piloted aircraft, powered by batteries.
