Well here i am again to inform you of our EC120 Helicopter which the Motoring World Group own and use on a daily basis.
It is a 5 seater single engine, single main rotor, light helicopter. The EC120 is mostly built from composite materials and has a Fenestron tail rotor, making it a particularly quiet helicopter.
The design of the EC120 wide cabin makes it suitable for a wide variety of civilian and parapublic missions, such as utility transport, offshore transport, training, law enforcement, casualty evacuation and corporate transport.
In addition to its civilian roles, the EC120 is also used by the military for training, observation and light utility missions. In the latter role, it can carry a sling load cargo of up to 700 kg.
The EC120 is able to carry equipment such as FLIR cameras, spotlights and other useful tools.
The first EC120 was delivered in 1998 and by 2008 Eurocopter had already delivered more than 550 EC120s to various customers.
The EC120 is used by both private individuals and companies, helicopter charter and training organisations as well as law enforcement and government use.
Here are some countries that use the EC120 today, Mexico, China, France, Indonesia, Lithuania, Singapore, Spain, USA & UK.
Here are the performance stats for EC120, Max speed 278km/h, Cruise speed 223km/h, Range 710km, Service ceiling 17000ft, Rate of climb 1150ft/min.
