Revell Eurocopter EC 145 (rev04481)

Skill: Advanced
The EC145 is a medium-heavy, twin-engined helicopter that was developed in collaboration between Eurocopter and the Japanese firm Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The Bk 117C-1 was the predecessor of the new helicopter designated the BK 117C-2 that became the EC145 after the production line was taken over.

The first machine made its maiden flight on 12th June 1999 at Donauwoerth. The first machine for the Securite Civile was handed over in May 2001 at Nimes in France. Compared with the BK 117, the EC145 has a new fuselage with a roomier cabin. Advantages of the new rotor blades are a considerable reduction in vibrations and a 25% increase in range. The EC145 is approved for blind flight and can be operated by one or two pilots at night. Its particular advantage as a rescue helicopter lies in the superb range in comparison with other helicopters in the category. The EC145 is therefore the first choice for flying patients over long distances to special clinics. The ADAC currently operates two helicopters of this type and they are stationed at Mainz and Senftenberg in Brandenburg.
