C'mon Shawn,
Don't sit on the fence, the EC135 is either a rigid or it isn't
No moving parts makes it a rigid as far as ECD is concerned.
It would have been an MBB 108 if the Krauts had their way, but the Froggies put paid to that. The head is a new generation MBB 105 head.
The MMI [mast moment indicator] is in the shape of an LED barograph running from green to red for mast bending.
Irrelevant in the air of course.......or is it?
VFR: No I didn't mean the EC135 was reaching its envelope limits - far from it. It reaches its passenger comfort limit quite quickly at times though
