The largest civil helicopter order in China’s
history was signed here yesterday by China’s
largest helicopter leasing company.
Airbus Helicopters inked a deal for 100
light single-turbine helicopters to be delivered
over the next five years to CM International
Financial Leasing C orp., part of China
Minsheng Investment.
“The relaxation of low altitude airspace
regulations in China signals exciting times
ahead,” said Wang Rong, CMIFL Chairman
and President. The Ecureuil-family helicopters
will be H125s equipped with cargo hooks
and H130s outfitted for emergency medical
services. The first 10 will be delivered next
year. CMIFL plans to offer them to operators
complete with financing solutions.
In a separate deal, Airbus Helicopters will
supply seven H130s to MIT Group’s HEMS999
to set up China’s first highway accident helicopter
rescue service. Deliveries will begin this year.

Avicopter Builds Brand Name and Reputation
ຏ૬኱ืऐ೗ಈLj጑‫ٷ‬ഓᄽํ૰
Compared with foreign competitors, Chinese helicopters lack distinctive
advantages in performance, reliability, technology and service and support
systems, something that Avicopter is working hard to counter.
Avicopter Executive Vice President Lv Jie.
T
he Chinese manufacturer must foster a sound image
in order to gain a competitive edge in fierce market
comp etition, says Lv Jie, Executive Vice President of
Avicopter.
Brand images reflect product positioning of a company,
and only by developing differentiated roadmaps and making
clear their positioning can enterprises involved in fierce
market competition focus on the target customer base of their
products, he says. Since 2009, Avicopter has been working to
gradually implant into users the brand images of the AC series
of helicopters, namely “Safety, Cost-efficiency and Reliability”.
This has involved a major effort to provide users with strong
after-sales and operational guarantees, helping build a sound
word-of-mouth reputation. This, says Lie, must be maintained
over the long term, with no let-up allowed.
The initiative has meant changing Avicopter’s corporate and
business management culture to make brand management
and reputation part of its core values.
At the same time, Avicopter, as the only helicopter
company in China with both research and development and
manufacturing capabilities, has determined to develop talents
from within to foster a spirit of innovation throughout the
business.
Meanwhile, intensified state support for the aviation
i n d u s t r y a n d t h e u p c o m i n g o p e n i n g o f l ow - a l t i t u d e
airspace will effectively activate the market demand for
civil helicopters, says Jie, while escalation of international
arms races and future military conflicts will lead to a steady
increase of orders for military helicopters. Avicopter must be
positioned to take advantage of these opportunities to develop
its products and the talents of its professionals, he says.

Yunnan Police Order One AW139 Helicopter
ሊళࠅҾ۩ࠔ2ॐAW139য়ᆩ኱ืऐ
Y
unnan Provincial Police Department
has placed an order for one AW139
intermediate twin- engine helicopter
for delivery in 2016, AgustaWestland
announced here. The aircraft will be used
for law enforcement, border patrol, special
operations, and utility missions in the region.
This brings to seven the number of
AW139s sold in China for public service
duties. A total of 17 of the type were in service
in Greater China for all uses at the end of
2014, according to data from Hong Kong
aviation consultant Asian Sky Group.
Yunnan Province is the most southwestern
province in China, bordering Vietnam, Laos
and Burma. Its high plateaus with elevations
above 3,000 m and tropical rainforest in
the east are demanding environments for
helicopters, and the Police selection of
the AW139 underscores the hot and high
performance and multi-mission capability of
that type, says AgustaWestland.
With orders for almost 900 AW139s in
more than 70 countries and over 730 aircraft
already in service, the helicopter is the bestselling intermediate twin in the world, it adds.

Low-altitude Tourism Could Attract Millions
๯াĐ኱ืऐᇑ‫گ‬੣୫ᆴዷ༶ஃ༇đቻਸ
T
he Top 100 scenic spots
throughout China are
expected to attract 834 million
visitors by 2020, and up to 50% of
them are suitable for low-altitude
flight tours, The “Forum on
Helicopter Tours in Low-altitude
Airspace” was told on the first
day of the 3rd Edition of China
Helicopter Exposition.
That could develop into a major
industry, with low-altitude flight
sightseeing tourists reaching
about 420 million by 2020.
The Forum was held to promote
development of China’s general
aviation industry and particularly
the potential of the low-altitude
airspace tourism industry. These
figures mean helicopters—and
lots of them, as well economic
spin-offs to the aviation service
and related industries.

AC352 Wins Launch Customer
AC352ᆔ‫ڥ‬ഔ‫ۯ‬ᆩࢽ!
COHC, the maritime helicopter business branch of CITIC, will be the launch
customer for Avicopter’s 14-16-passenger AC352 super-medium sized
helicopter, it was announced here in Tianjin as the prototype was presented to
the public for the first time.
A
vicopter has shown
mockups of the AC352
helicopter before, but never
the real thing. First flight is
due by the end of this year.
Further details of COHC’s
launch order were not given
as negotiations are ongoing.
COHC operated a fleet of
51 helicopters at the end of
2014, including 38 Airbus
Helicopters—the largest Airbus
fleet in Asia— according to
data from Hong Kong aviation
consultants Asian Sky Group.
The AC352 is a joint program
between AVIC Hafei and Airbus
Helicopters to devlop,
produce and market a
transport helicopter primarily
for the oil and gas industry,
and for separate markets
in China and the rest of the
world. The Airbus Helicopters
H175 and China’s AC352
share a common airframe
and transmission but differ
in important details. Hafei
produces all the airframes for
the separate production lines
in France and China, and
Airbus provides the dynamic
systems.
The main difference between
the two is in the powerplants:
the H175 uses a pair of Pratt &
Whitney Canada PT6-C67E
turboshafts, while the AC352 is
powered by jointly-developed
Turbomeca-AVIC Ardiden 3
engines, designated WZ16.
Airbus Helicopters and
Avicopter last year signed an
agreement for the production
of up to 1,000 H175/
AC352 helicopters over the
next 20 years. AVIC Hafei
said yesterday it exp ects
to sell 400 of them in that
timeframe.
Meanwhile, Airbus
Helicopters has marked
the first 1,000 flying hours
with its H175 helicopters
in service with Belgian oil
and gas operator Noordzee
Helikopters Vlaanderen
( N H V ) . D e t a i l s re l e a s e d
by the operator state that
the hours have been flown
with the first two aircraft
that were delivered to NHV
in Decemb er 2014. They
have completed around 750
missions and carried 11,000
passengers.
Ye s t e rd ay, H o n g Ko n g based Government Flying
Services (GFS) became the
wo r l d ’s l a u n c h c u s t o m e r
for the first public-services
configured Airbus Helicopters
H175, with an order for seven
aircraft. Deliveries will begin
with three aircraft towards the
end of 2017, followed by the
remaining four in 2018.
The order is a significant
boost for the H175, which
has suffered a low uptake
partly b ecause of its late
arrival to market and
the drop in demand for
helicopters from oil and gas
support operators as a result
of the fall in energy prices.
Nonetheless, the company
has managed to shore up a
number of significant orders,
from Bristow and from leasing
company Milestone Aviation.
It has an order book for just
over 100 aircraft.
Airbus would have hoped
for earlier success for a SAR
capable H175. In 2012, the
company proposed the aircraft
for the UK’s demilitarization
of SAR services. However the
winner of the contract, Bristow
Group, selected the AW189.

The Ardiden 3C / WZ16 developed by Turbomeca and AVIC.
A
vicopter ’s AC352 sup ermedium helicopter is powered
by the most high-tech turboshaft
available in its class, the Ardiden
3C / WZ16, developed jointly by
Turbomeca and AVIC Dongan,
the French engine manufacturer
claims.
Now Turb omeca is standing
ready to support the first flight of
the helicopter, which it says could
happen in the coming weeks.
The 1,700 shp Ardiden 3C is
the only new-generation engine in
this power range on the market,
Turbomeca adds.
Its design ensures that the
engine will be very reliable and
c o s t- e f f e c t i ve , p a r t i c u l a r ly i n
terms of maintenance and costof-ownership. It offers 10 percent
lower fuel consumption than
other engines in its category, and
maintenance will be simplified
by a 5,000 hour Time Between
Overhaul (TBO) limit, increased to
6,400 hours at maturity.
Tu r b o m e c a C h i n a G e n e ra l
M a n ag er Hervé Pasb ecq notes
that“because it is designed
to perform in the toughest
e nv i ro n m e n t s w i t h t h e l owe s t
operating costs, Ardiden 3C / WZ16
is a perfect match for the AC352.
This engine will bring more power,

Honeywell Brings Bell 407HP Power, Economy
ऊ౅ྴܻዺ૰Ԟܻ407HP‫ۯ‬૰߸ഽĂঢ়षႠ߸ࡻ
Canada’s Eagle Copters has partnered with Honeywell Aerospace
and Shanghai-based General Dynamic Aero Technology (GDAT)
to introduce an upgraded, high-performance Bell 407 helicopter to
Chinese customers.
R
e-engined with Honeywell’s nextg e n e r at i o n , 1 , 0 0 0 - s h p - c l a s s
HTS900 turboshaft engine, the Bell
407HP has 22% more power than
the standard aircraft and allows it to
carry 40% more weight at an altitude
of 12,000 ft. Much of the benefit is
derived from the engine’s efficiency: it
burns 17% less fuel than the standard
Bell 407’s Rolls-Royce Model 250C47B turboshaft.
Now the partners are working on
b r inging a demonstration 407HP
to China, where it will help in the
campaign to win approval from China’s
CAAC. “We’re starting the process now.
We’re hoping the helicopter will arrive
fairly soon, perhaps within the next
three to six months,” says Honeywell’s
Andy Gill, senior director for Business
and General Aviation, Asia Pacific.
Bell’s 206/407 family represents the
most popular helicopter type in Greater
China, with 43 206s and 32 407s in
operation at the end of 2014, according
to data from Hong Kong aviation
consultant Asian Sky Group. Honeywell
and its partners believe the 407HP will
strengthen that appeal, especially where
operators demand better performance in
hot and high conditions.
“The Honeywell HTS900 turboshaft
engine and the 407HP are perfectly
suited to China. Nearly 70% of the land
area is covered with mountains, hills
and plateaus, requiring helicopters to
regularly fly in high and hot conditions,”
says Gill. “That performance, coupled
with low maintenance and Honeywell’s
reliable service and supp ort, is a
powerful combination.”
Eagle Copters of Calgary, Canada,
developed the engine retrofit and won
Canadian and U.S. FAA approval
for a Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) for the combination. In
China, Honeywell will seek CAAC
certification for the HTS900 engine,
and GDAT will lead the request for a
Verified Supplemental Type Certificate
from the CAAC for the 407HP, as well
as being the first customer.
“ This helicopter is destined to
become a favorite for operators in key
sectors like search and rescue, oil and
gas exploration, and tourism. We are
very proud to be the first to bring the
Bell 407HP to China,” says GDAT
President Peter Jiang.
The Bell 407HP can trace its origins
to Bell Helicopter ’s launch of the
417 in 2006. That was essentially
an updated Bell 407 powered by the
Honeywell HTS900 engine; Eagle
Copters began development of the
STC to re -engine the 407 in 2009
when Bell canceled the 417, basically
taking over where Bell left off.

The EMS version of the AC313 is on show here.
Inside, it becomes an aerial intensive care unit.
C
hina’s largest indigenous helicopter,
the three-engine Avicopter AC313,
might also become the world’s largest
helicopter dedicated to emergency
medical services (EMS).
A mockup unveiled here at Tianjin
shows the usual 27-passenger cabin
outfitted for emergency medical
transportation, underscoring Avicopter’s
intention to develop new utility uses for
the helicopter. It is already available in
a firefighting role, with tank and hose
systems from U.S. company Simplex.
The large cabin can transport multiple
patients in two levels of stretcher systems, some
of which can convert to seats to maximize the
number that can be carried in one flight.
Smart monitoring of the patients allows
just one doctor to tend the victims via a
single screen, and medical data can be
shared by Internet between doctors in
the air and on the ground. The on-board
systems replicate the highest standards of
an intensive care unit, Avicopter says.
The AC313 is powered by three PT6B67B engines from Pratt & Whitney Canada,
affording a MTOW of 13,800 kg, or 30,400 lb.
The helicopter has a maximum
payload of 4,000 kg (more than 8,800 lb)
and a maximum sling weight of 5,000 kg,
or 11,000 lb. Maximum cruise speed is
255 km/h, or nearly 160 mph, with a range
of 940 km (580 miles) with 20 minutes
fuel reserve. Maximum endurance is 5 hr.
Avicopter Breaks Into China’s EMS Market

Z19E Attack Helicopter for Export
኱19‫؜‬੨႙ଋ၎
A
real Z19E attack
helicopter from AVIC is
the most lethal exhibit here at
Tianjin. And the “E” means
it’s for export.
Developed from the Z9 utility
helicopter, itself a development
of the Aerospatiale AS365N
Dauphin, Avic says the Z19E
can attack targets on ground
o r a i r, a n d e v e n s t a n d off targets. It is capable of
coordinating with other air
and land forces.
A good hot and high
performance and two sandresistant engines suit it for the harshest environments,
and an advanced cockpit with heads-up and and helmetmounted displays add to its lethality.
Z19E is the export version of the Z19 in service with the
PLA Army. Both benefit from similar maintenance to the
Z9, which has been a popular export to some countries.

Airbus Helicopters Pioneers EMS in China
੣ਜ਼኱ืऐ‫ྺׯ‬৆थᅅଐ‫ޜ‬ခ๨‫ބံׇ‬
This Airbus Helicopters H135 is the first dedicated EMS rotorcraft in China.
C
hina’s new market for emergency
medical service helicopters became
a reality last year with the delivery last
October 28 of the first rotorcraft dedicated
to this role: a twin- engine Airbus
Helicopters H135 P2e.
A second P2e was due for delivery earlier
this year, and the operator, 999 Emergency
Rescue Center, a subsidiary of the Beijing
Red Cross Foundation, also placed a letter
of intent for two H145 T2 rotorcraft. It is
using the first H135 for inter-provincial
intensive-care transportation between
Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Inner Mongolia
and Shandong province.
“In addition to benefitting from the
H135’s excellence as an EMS helicopter,
we also appreciate the added value of
Airbus Helicopters’ experience and
relationships with HEMS (helicopter
emergency medical services) operators,”
says Ma Runhai, Executive Vice President
of Beijing Red Cross Society of China.
“It enables us to help achieve the
national strategic goal of comprehensively
deepening the reforms and propelling the
modernization of the governance system
and capacities. It will also help Beijing
Red Cross Society of China to achieve the
goal of becoming a leader in China and a
first-class organization in the world.”
The helicopter is fully equipped with
medical systems from Bucher – the same

provider for many established European
HEMS operators.
A delegation of doctors from the 999
Center underwent familiarization courses
in Augsbourg, Germany, on the Buchersupplied equipment, which follows a oneweek introduction to HEMS in the ADAC
HEMS Academy near Cologne. In parallel,
Airbus Helicopters is providing rotorcraft
training , organizing a co op eration
outreach, and establishing relationships
and workshops for the C hinese with
leading European air rescue operators to
ensure a smooth and successful initiation
of the country’s new HEMS operations.
“The relaxation of China’s low-altitude
airspace augurs well for the development
of HEMS, which is very much needed
in a country of such geographical and
population size,” says Norbert Ducrot,
President of Airbus Helicopters China. “999
Center’s initiative to launch this public
service is highly commendable and will be
well-appreciated by the people of China.”
Airbus Helicopters claims over 60
percent market share worldwide in the
HEMS segment, with approximately
25 p ercent of all medical emergency
operations around the globe performed by
that model. More than 1,100 H135s have
been delivered worldwide, and over 500 of
them are in HEMS configurations.

The highlight of this year’s China Helicopter
Exposition will occur today when Avicopter
reveals its twin-engined, super-mediumsized AC352 to the public for the first time.
The mockup has been seen before, but the
helicopter on show here is a real airworthy
example, marking its first venture into the
public gaze.
Avicopter builds all the airframes for the
separate production lines in France and
China.
Full details in tomorrow’s ShowNews.
