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. A world first for Eurosatory in 2024, several distinct types of helicopter in operation today were presented:
- 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.
