Airbus Helicopters EC175

The Airbus Helicopters EC175 (also Avicopter Z-15) is a 7-ton class medium utility helicopter being developed by Airbus Helicopters and AVIC.

An initial assembly line for the EC175 is expected to be established at Airbus Helicopters' Marignane plant, with a second Airbus Helicopters assembly line to follow three or four years later.

The gears and the casing of the EC175's main gearbox (MGB) have, for example, been completely developed using CATIA V5, a first for Airbus Helicopters.
