Airbus recently certified a new single-pilot, IFR-compatible (instrument flight rules) cockpit version of Helionix for its H135 rotorcraft - giving customers an option to remove the co-pilot side of the instrument panel to increase the field of view, or retain it in order to install specific equipment.

For the H135, the planned single-pilot IFR cockpit will further boost this helicopter's capabilities across multiple applications - including aerial work, utility missions and law enforcement.

In addition, a new wireless airborne communications system deployed on the H145 enhances connectivity by securely transmitting helicopter data in real time.

For Airbus Helicopters' new H160, pilots will be the first to benefit from assisted take-off mode, which will assist them during this phase of flight. The pilots will only have to monitor the flight path as the autopilot takes control during lift-off, hover, acceleration, and climb.
