The New H145 Helicopter Update Includes Several Features That Will Allow Customers to Enhance Their Operations in the Offshore Wind Energy Sector

For passenger transport operations to offshore wind farms and lifting techniques for wind turbines, HTM-Helicopters and Airbus Helicopters have reached an agreement for the acquisition of two H145 helicopters: one with four blades and another with five blades for activities in the offshore wind segment.

The two helicopters will be equipped with a powerful winch, flotation equipment, and a cargo hook. The delivery of the first helicopter, a four-blade H145, is estimated to take place in the fourth quarter of this year, while the other helicopter, a five-blade H145, will be delivered in 2021.

The advantages of the aircraft include the H145’s ability to operate in more confined areas, simplified maintenance, and an increased availability rate for offshore environments. The two new helicopters will be operated from HTM-Helicopters’ bases in Norden-Norddeich, Emden, Borkum, and Helgoland, Germany.

The aircraft includes a high-performance 4-axis autopilot, which ensures greater safety and reduces the pilot’s workload. Additionally, the H145 is the quietest helicopter in its class. It is equipped with a full authority digital engine control and the Helionix digital avionics suite, as well as two Safran Arriel 2E engines.

The helicopter features an innovative five-blade bearingless rotor that increases the useful load by 150 kg, further enhancing the mission capabilities of the aircraft in offshore wind operations. The four-blade H145 will also be upgraded with this new rotor system later.
