H140 | Airbus

Raising the bar

The H140 is a 3-tonne class rotorcraft that complements Airbus Helicopters' current light twin offering.

With enhanced technological features, the H140 raises the bar in the light twin category for performance, cost-effectiveness, and passenger and crew comfort with its large cabin space.

Mission capable

The H140 features a large cabin space, large windows and optimised cabin layout that can accommodate up to six passengers comfortably. Designed with accessibility in mind, the H140’s rear loading capabilities allow the use of different types of stretcher systems including intensive care ones and transport incubators, while its large sliding doors facilitate access to the cabin.

Efficient design

The H140 features a wide range of innovations, including a new T-shaped tail boom with an aerodynamically optimised Fenestron that reduces sound levels, a five-blade bearingless main rotor and new powerful engines.

Powerful performance

The H140, powered by the Safran Arrius 2E 700 shp engine, offers the best payload/range in its class . The two engines of the helicopter are managed by a dual channel full-authority digital engine control (FADEC) system, guaranteeing unprecedented level of performance in all engines operative (AEO) operations and considerable power reserves in one engine inoperative (OEI) scenarios.

Enhanced safety

The H140 features Helionix, the Airbus Helicopters avionic system that also equips the H135, H145, H160 and H175. Helionix, in addition to the 4-axis autopilot, offers an innovative cockpit layout to enhance situational awareness, reducing the pilot workload and increasing the safety during the mission.

H140 operators will benefit from an optimised maintenance plan that harmonises airframe and engine maintenance schedules and allows longer intervals between inspections, reducing the helicopter's operating and maintenance costs.
