Emergency medical services (EMS) H145 takes to the skies in Brazil! Delivered at the beginning of the year, the two H145s of the State Health Department of Minas Gerais are now officially in service, bringing cutting-edge air medical capabilities to the region. Equipped for life-saving missions, these twin-engine helicopters will support inter-hospital and organ transfers, rescue operations as well as firefighting. #AirbusHelicopters #H145 #LAAD2025 #MakingMissionsPossible #HEMS

On the last day of SOFINS 2025, Airbus Helicopters showcased its latest crewed-uncrewed teaming solution.  The system, which has been developed with the support of military customers, will enable helicopter crews to take full control of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). Using UAS as their wingman, helicopters will be able to enhance their capabilities for a variety of tasks including intelligence gathering, surveillance or target designation. #AirbusHelicopters #SOFINS2025 #CUCT #UAS #MilitaryAviation

Expanding Mission Capabilities with Airbus Uncrewed Aerial Systems Live from SOFINS, let's take a look at what Airbus has in store to develop new mission capabilities for customers. With a comprehensive range of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), Airbus integrates additional ways to better support essential operations. Our UAS aren't just stand-alone solutions; they're designed for interoperability, working with other aircraft, helicopters, and drones to achieve unparalleled capabilities. Enhanced situational awareness Extended reach and operational flexibility Improved mission efficiency Our UAS leverage complementarity to support armed forces in their most critical tasks, delivering capabilities precisely when and where they're needed most. #UncrewedAerialSystems #AirbusDefence #AirbusHelicopters

The NH90 Standard 2 is showing its might at SOFINS this week - an event dedicated to special forces operations. The aircraft, which was specially developed for the French Army Aviation in support of Special Forces operations and for which a total of 18 helicopters have been ordered. The NH90 Standard 2 keeps demonstrating its capabilities as its flight test campaign continues.. ☑️ Enhanced fast roping capabilities ☑️ New generation electro-optical system ☑️ Rear window mounted guns ☑️ Additional 500 kg external fuel tanks #AirbusHelicopters #SOFINS2025 #NH90

An armed rotorcraft platform with a very small footprint and excellent manoeuvrability, the single-engine H125M combines performance, discretion and firepower. Check out the helicopter at SOFINS 2025 this week. #AirbusHelicopters #SOFINS2025 #H125M

Pioneering sustainable aerospace for a safe and united world! Congratulations to SAF Aerogroup and RIVE Private Investment for being early adopters of the recently announced Airbus Book and Claim, a key initiative aimed at accelerating the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). By embracing this innovative approach, SAF Aerogroup and RIVE investment are not only reducing their carbon footprint but also helping drive the industry-wide transition toward lower-carbon helicopter operations. Their leadership sets an inspiring example for others to follow. Did you know that on top of performing Airbus Helicopters' demo flights with the H125, H145, H160 and H175 at VERTICON (formerly HAI HELI-EXPO) with 30% drop-in SAF, we also tested the Book and Claim initiative ourselves to compensate for the remaining 70% on the H125 demo flights? #AirbusHelicopters #PayItForward #MakingMissionsPossible #VERTICON2025 #SustainableAviationFuel

Did you know that Airbus helicopters can provide relief to a fire by dropping water, foam or retardant every 5 to 10 minutes? Helicopters play a vital role in both preventing and fighting fires. Our specialists are joining other industry colleagues at the Aerial Fire Fighting conference this week to discuss the importance of deploying aerial assets during such a critical mission. #AirbusHelicopters #MakingMissionsPossible #AFFE2025

Australian aerospace start-up Drone Forge and Airbus have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to collaborate on the deployment and operational integration of the Flexrotor uncrewed aerial system. This agreement, which includes the acquisition of Flexrotor systems, marks a critical step towards transforming uncrewed aviation with game-changing solutions and technologies tailored for tactical operations. “This partnership between Airbus and Drone Forge is a giant leap forward in the evolution and progress of the UAV industry. When we deliver a capability or product to a customer, they expect a proven solution, partnerships committed to safety, and teams that can provide world class support. This partnership will provide customers with all of these and more,” said Thomas Symes, Chief Executive Officer of Drone Forge. Symes added: “The Asia-Pacific region presents a significant opportunity for a UAV solution like the Flexrotor. Built on Drone Forge’s values of trust and performance, this partnership with Airbus aims to fully commercialise the Flexrotor across commercial, government, and defence sectors.” “This agreement outlines a shared commitment to explore opportunities for implementing innovative Flexrotor technologies in the region. Designed as a force multiplier for diverse missions in defence and security applications, this partnership signals strong confidence in our Flexrotor capabilities and offers perfect crewed-uncrewed teaming possibilities for aircraft operators,” said William Sampson, Head of Market Operations of Airbus Helicopters. As part of Drone Forge’s portfolio expansion, the company has established a UAS service centre in Perth, Western Australia, to provide training, maintenance and support services for a range of UAS including the Flexrotor. The Flexrotor, is Airbus’ newest addition to its UAS portfolio. A modern Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) uncrewed aircraft with a maximum launch weight of 25 kg (55 lbs), it has been designed for ISTAR missions for more than 12-14 hours in a typical operational configuration. Other missions include parapublic activities such as forest fire surveillance, ice navigation, law enforcement, and border patrol. #AirbusHelicopters #MakingMissionsPossible #Flexrotor #Avalon2025
