History and development of the Eurocopter EC130
Developed by Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters), the EC130 was introduced in 1999 as an evolution of the famous AS350 Ecureuil. Its design responds to the need for a modern tourist helicopter with an extended cockpit and noise reduction technologies, making it ideal for sensitive environments such as natural parks and urban areas.
The EC130 has proven to be a commercial success in the tourism sector, especially in regions such as the Grand Canyon in the United States, where comfort and low noise pollution are critical to the user experience.
