Eurocopter has a new ‘face’ at the show. The Franco-German manufacturer has an EC130 B4 on static display for the first time in Dubai.Recently delivered to a Middle East customer, the aircraft is presented in what Eurocopter describes as ‘Stylence’ livery – a plug for the helicopter’s quiet performance as much as its overall look.
The aircraft flies at an EPNdB level of 84.3 and its noise level is 8.5dB below the ICAO limit and 0.5dB below the GCNP standard.
Eurocopter has now delivered almost 120 EC130 B4s, which can be configured with seven or eight seats and are powered by the Turbomeca Arriel 2B engine.
