The H120 is a single-engine helicopter, mostly used for utility, passenger transport, surveys, and training.
Featuring cutting-edge technology, the H120 delivers reliable, safe, and cost-efficient performance, with a strong emphasis on easy maintenance. Its ergonomic cockpit, complete with a dual LCD-screen Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD), reduces pilot workload, while the fuel-efficient Safran Arrius 2F engine optimizes performance. The Spheriflex® rotor head, composite blades, and Fenestron® tail rotor enhance safety and minimize noise, making it the quietest in its class.
