In the year of Ecureuil, what better landscape than that of Nepal to demonstrate what the H125 can do on some of the world's highest peaks. From aerial work, to search and rescue, to passenger transport, the H125 is the helicopter of choice for operators soaring at the top of the Himalayas.    This is why more than 80 participants representing our 12 H125 operators gathered in Kathmandu at the end of September. Their objective: to share experiences about the crucial role the more than 30 H125s currently flying in Nepal play in saving lives at high altitudes and in extreme weather conditions, and to discuss the evolution of the aircraft, including enhanced safety features.   What better way to share how the H125 is making essential missions possible for our customers than from our customers themselves! Watch the video below to hear their testimonies and to catch some breathtaking views of Nepal - it's well worth your time! #AirbusHelicopters #H125 #MakingMissionsPossible #Nepal

Airbus Helicopters and European partners demonstrate collaboration between helicopters and unmanned systems. We have conducted a full scale demonstration of a manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) system developed as part of a project funded by the European Union and code-named MUSHER. The demonstration involved multiple manned helicopters and unmanned systems connected to a single MUM-T network. The MUSHER demonstration consisted of various scenarios involving the different aircraft flying simultaneously in France and in Italy. The missions were based on concepts of operations defined by the ministries of defense of France, Italy and Spain.
