01 / Model history

## Compact twin-engine

For the H135, the chosen layout is particularly important. Medical and corporate salons may look like different machines, although outwardly it is one platform. Comparing ads without specifying the purpose of the board is therefore difficult.

Official Airbus materials emphasize the versatility of the family. In practice, the buyer needs to separately check the avionics, access for passengers or stretchers and service conditions in the flight region.

## Specifications and uses

The H135 is a compact Airbus twin-engine platform with a wide variety of cabins. It is especially indicative of how one car turns into a medical, educational or passenger tool.

Airbus, H135 family materials and 2022 civil line catalogue. The family includes different engines and maximum weights: the exact specification is checked by modification.

### One platform, different interiors

The medical H135 may have stretcher attachments and equipment that completely changes the space. The passenger side uses the same basic car differently: chairs, entrance and luggage are important.

If the helicopter has been converted, it is worth requesting documents for work and a new mass of an empty car. It is they who explain how much payload remains for the usual routes.

### Engines and avionics

Inside the family there are power plants of different suppliers. This affects the technical support, crew training and comparison of specific instances; you can not reduce all H135 to one engine line.

Helionix and Fenestron's closed steering screw help to recognize modern versions, but the composition of cabin and aerobatic equipment is still checked on board.

Capacity and range depend on configuration, payload and flight conditions. A helicopter’s price depends on its equipment and technical condition.
