Airbus announced Monday that it has delivered an advanced, multi-mission H145 helicopter to New Zealand marking its first delivery in the region.

The H145 was certified last year as the latest member of Airbus Helicopters’ 4-tonne-class, twin-engine product range.

The helicopter has a Fenestron tail rotor and an automatic variable rotor speed control system which, together, produce significantly reduced external sound levels while boosting payload, range and speed.

Compact in size but with a spacious cabin that can accommodate one pilot and ten passengers, the H145’s small noise footprint, range and speed make it the aircraft of choice for a variety of civil missions.
