Helicopters area
An exhibition zone dedicated to helicopters
Ground-based action in all its forms, from high intensity conflict to humanitarian disaster response, calls on the integration of all domains (land, air, space, naval, cyber). In light of this, the air-to-ground action of helicopters is of predominant importance. As leader in its category, Eurosatory had a duty to develop this segment more extensively. In this world first for Eurosatory in 2024, an exhibition space will be given over specifically to helicopters, drawing notably on the resources of the French Army, the Gendarmerie Nationale and the US Army, along with French and international manufacturers.
This special feature will witness several distinct types of helicopter that as still in operation today:
- from the French Army’s light aircraft fleet: EC 665 TIGRE (Airbus Helicopters), NH 90 CAÏMAN (NH Industries),
- from the US Army’s Aviation unit: AH 64 APACHE (Boeing), UH 60 BLACKHAWK (Sikorsky) et CH 47 CHINOOK (Boeing).
Together with helicopters currently under development: H 160 M GUEPARD (Airbus Helicopters), AW 249 FENICE (Leonardo).
In addition to this outdoor zone, a H 175 M helicopter will be on display on the Airbus stand (ExtPe6a-D243), accompanied by a VSR 700 unmanned reconnaissance helicopter.
