Airbus H145: Versatile Rotorcraft Redefining Civil and Tactical Missions Worldwide

From law enforcement and emergency medical services to offshore energy and VIP transport, the H145 delivers unmatched performance, adaptability, and mission readiness

The Airbus H145 continues to set the benchmark for multi-role rotorcraft across civil, tactical, and corporate aviation sectors. With its powerful twin-engine configuration, compact airframe, and advanced Helionix® avionics suite, the H145 is engineered for performance in demanding environments—from urban rescue operations to offshore energy platforms.

Law Enforcement Missions

The H145’s mission-ready configuration supports patrol, surveillance, and tactical deployment. Its spacious cabin accommodates up to 10 officers and features FLIR and daylight cameras, NVIS-compatible cockpit, tactical mission management systems, and external roping capabilities for rapid insertion.

Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS)

Tailored for intensive care transport, the H145’s unobstructed cabin supports one or two stretchers and up to five medical personnel. Multiple EMS interior options, low noise footprint, and Helionix® avionics ensure safe operations in urban and hospital zones.

Energy Sector Operations

Onshore & Offshore Oil and Gas: The H145 meets IOGP standards with Class 1 performance, Sea State 6 floatation systems, dual-side hoists, and emergency egress lighting. It carries eight passengers plus crew and maneuvers easily on helidecks.

Offshore Wind Energy: Ideal for wind park maintenance, the H145 supports hoisting operations with OEI capability and accommodates two technician teams with gear.

Private and Business Aviation

The ACH145 variant offers luxury, flexibility, and performance. With over eight cabin layout options, the ACH145 seats up to eight passengers in bespoke interiors. The latest Helionix flight deck and four-axis autopilot ensure smooth, safe travel for VIP clients.

Aerial Work & Utility Missions

These H145Ms will be delivered starting in 2027 and are expected to support special operations, medevac, and light attack roles. Airbus Helicopters Managing Director Stefan Thomé called the order “a powerful sign of trust in the H145M’s exceptional performance.”
