The entire body of the Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 gleams with a glossy black finish, paying homage to Batman, the beloved superhero adored by the PSG star.
The Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145, a lightweight personal helicopter with twin engines, was introduced in 2015 as a collaboration between German automaker Mercedes-Benz and the renowned Airbus Helicopters.
Powered by two Turbomeca Arriel 2E engines generating a total of 900 horsepower, the H-145 boasts a range of 640 km and a maximum speed of 240 km/h. Weighing in at 2,449 kg, this helicopter model can accommodate up to 8 passengers, 2 pilots, and their luggage, with a maximum payload of 3,700 kg.
With dimensions of 11.69 x 2.4 x 4 meters (length, width, and height excluding propellers), the H-145’s compact size makes it an appealing choice for personal aviation enthusiasts.
Inside the cockpit, three large screens display the Helionix avionics system, providing ⱱіtаɩ information and assisting the pilot in all scenarios. Additionally, this helicopter model boasts the most advanced 4-axis autopilot system, ensuring stability at high altitudes and fасіɩіtаtіпɡ automatic takeoff.
Mercedes-Benz has developed the passenger compartment of the H-145, featuring luxurious leather interiors, an enhanced entertainment system, and an onboard WiFi hotspot. Customers have the option to personalize their helicopters with custom cabin leather upholstery, wooden floors, and carpets. The interior lighting, reminiscent of those found in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, is also incorporated into the H-145.
The air conditioning system in this helicopter гіⱱаɩѕ that of personal jets, although the cabin noise is comparatively higher. To combat this, each seat in the passenger compartment is equipped with an A20 Bose Aviation headset, fасіɩіtаtіпɡ communication with the pilot and reducing noise levels.
