The 350B2 not produced anymore ?
 
Airbus Helicopters has a new website with a front page full of .... a lot of things.
But if you check the list of the helicopters, you won't find the 350B2 any more ! Home Page - Airbus Helicopters
Last year AH produced 134 B3e/C3e and only 23 B2, is it the reason ?

It would reduce costs a lot to only run a one type production line.

How many EC120B did they build?

HeliHenri 2nd Mar 2015 19:02

7 EC120 and 58 EC130

So is that 215 AS350's then?
at Eu1.2MILLION profit each (Eu258m profit)that would make the single engine market an economically effective one.

You don't sell twice as many engines when you sell twins because you sell fewer aircraft.
How many AS355's per year?

HeliHenri 2nd Mar 2015 20:52

Just 3 AS355NP last year.

so the helicopter industry needs more 'single friendly' regulation, unless we want to regulate ourselves out of business? Doh!

AnFI 2nd Mar 2015 21:23

Engine failures don't look like the thing that needs to be solved....

Well, I can't see they are continuing the 355 either.

And what's up with changing all the type designations!!!!?

AS350=H125..... WTF!!

John Eacott 3rd Mar 2015 22:14

H125, eh?

How long before the ICAO designator gets confused with the HS125, (H25B) FL320/M0.8 anyone?

:p
