Airbus Helicopters touts H160 to French MoD

摘要

Airbus Helicopters is pitching its developmental H160 platform to the French Ministry of Defence (MoD) as a potential replacement for most of its current rotary-wing inventory, according to a company official. Speaking ahead of the HAI HeliExpo event held from 29 February to 3 March in Louisville, Kentucky, H160 programme manager Bernard Fujarski said that, while a military variant of the company's newest helicopter has not yet been launched, talks to offer the platform to fulfil the French MoD's Helicoptere Interarmees Leger (HIL) requirement are to start shortly.
