Staying in the Lead

For more than 50 years, Eurocopter has been at the forefront of innovation. With approximately 2,562 patents registered to date―and no less than 115 patents registered in 2011―Eurocopter continues its innovation policy, and its success is evident: Eurocopter helicopters fly faster, farther, more safely, with more passengers and greater comfort, while fuel consumption, noise levels and particle emissions have been reduced. These advantages have made Eurocopter the world’s number one helicopter manufacturer and have allowed its helicopters to set impressive records.

Today’s challenges are not just technical, but also economic, competitive and environmental. Eurocopter’s ambition is to launch a new helicopter, a new version or a technology demonstrator every year. Thanks to these innovations, Eurocopter will continue to offer its customers the most effective solutions and to satisfy and even surpass their expectations.
