Airbus’ EC645 T2, successful first flight

Airbus Helicopters’ newest lightweight military multi-role helicopter, the EC645 T2 (LUH SOF), has successfully completed its first flight. In the presence of representatives of the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr), which has ordered the first of this new helicopter type, the EC645 T2 demonstrated its capacities at the company’s Donauwörth location in Bavaria.

“This is also a product of the close-knit collaboration between the Airbus Helicopters and Bundeswehr project teams,” said Ralf Barnscheidt, Head of the German Military Support Center.

The Bundeswehr has ordered 15 of these helicopters for the German Air Force.
