Oct. 12, 2016
Tokyo, October 12, 2016 - 花蜜直播app, Ltd. announced today its release of the new H145//BK117 D-2 helicopter (BK117 D-2), which was developed jointly with Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH. In addition to direct sales by 花蜜直播app, Airbus Helicopters Japan Co., Ltd. has been named as its sales agent for the new model in Japan in an effort to strengthen its sales network.
The BK117 D-2 features highly improved flight and safety performance, while taking over the features of the previous BK117 C-2 that have earned high marks, such as the versatile, wide clamshell doors at the rear and the aero dynamic component, which boasts more than four million hours of real flight time.
Advantages Offered by the BK117 D-2
Adoption of a high-output engine and enhancements to the main gearbox performance have enabled major improvements in hovering performance.
A new automatic pilot system combined with integrated instruments utilizing the latest technologies help reduce burden on the pilot.
The introduction of a ducted-fan design for the tail rotor enables the best noise-reduction available for this class of helicopter.
The inclusion of twin high-output electronically controlled (FADEC: Full Authority Digital Engine Control) engines mean that even if an engine problem or failure occurs, the helicopter can sustain safe flight.
Improvements such as increased engine durability enable longer maintenance intervals, thus cutting overall maintenance costs.
