H145M

The H145M, also known as the H Force Light Utility Helicopter, is a twin-engine, multi-mission military helicopter manufactured by Airbus Helicopters. It is a derivative of the civilian H145 (formerly EC145 T2) and is designed for a wide range of operations including troop transport, reconnaissance, close air support, medical evacuation, and cargo lifting.

Key features of the H145M include its advanced avionics, a robust airframe, and a high degree of commonality with its civilian counterpart, which facilitates maintenance and pilot training. The helicopter is equipped with a glass cockpit and can be fitted with a variety of mission equipment, including defensive systems, armaments, and specialized sensors, depending on the customer's requirements. Its relatively compact size and maneuverability make it suitable for operating in diverse environments, including confined areas and adverse weather conditions.

The H145M is operated by several air forces worldwide. Its modular design allows for rapid reconfiguration between different mission profiles. This adaptability, combined with its operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, makes it an attractive option for militaries seeking a versatile light helicopter platform. The helicopter's performance is enhanced by its Fenestron tail rotor, which provides increased safety and reduced noise levels.
