==Products== Some of the helicopters were renamed in 2015, resembling Airbus airplane naming.<ref name=vert2015-04>{{cite news |url=http://www.verticalmag.com/digital_issue/2015/v14i2/files/40.html |title=Airbus renames fleet |page=36 |work=Vertical Magazine |date=April 2015 |access-date=11 April 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150419023150/http://www.verticalmag.com/digital_issue/2015/v14i2/files/40.html |archive-date=19 April 2015 }}</ref> When the division changed its name from Eurocopter Group to Airbus Helicopters in 2014 the trade names of the products were changed (applied by 1 January 2016) to reflect this. Suffixes, as well as the differentiation for single or twin engines, were no longer to be used. Military versions were to be symbolized by the letter M. The only exceptions to this new branding were the AS365, the AS565, the Tiger and the NH90, which will have kept their current names.<ref>{{cite web |date=March 2015 |title=History is written with an HI160 |url=http://www.airbushelicopters.com/w1/jrotor/100/sources/projet/pdfs/page7.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518080217/http://www.airbushelicopters.com/w1/jrotor/100/sources/projet/pdfs/page7.pdf |archive-date=2015-05-18 |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=www.airbushelicopters.com}}</ref> {| class="wikitable sortable" |+ !Name !Type !class="unsortable"|Thumbnail !Introduced ![[Maximum takeoff weight|MTOW]]<br>[[Tonne|t]] (lb) |- |[[H125]] |Light single-engine |[[File:Airbus H125 - Los Angeles Police Department Air Support (cropped).jpg|150x150px]] |1975 |{{Convert|2.25|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H130]] |Light single-engine |[[File:Eurocopter 130 SP-MTB 3 (modified).jpg|150x150px]] |2001 |{{Convert|2.5|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H135]] |Light twin-engine |[[File:EC-135 - RIAT 2011 (6199185182).jpg|150x150px]] |1996 |{{Convert|2.98|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H140]] |Light twin-engine | |2025 | |- |[[H145]] |Light twin-engine |[[File:Stanford EC145.jpg|150x150px]] |2002 |{{Convert|3.7|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H155]] |Medium twin-engine |[[File:Hong Kong Government Flying Service Eurocopter EC-155B-1; B-HRU@HKG;04.08.2011 (6260084063).jpg|150x150px]] |1999 |{{Convert|4.92|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H160]] |Medium twin-engine |[[File:Airbus Helicopters H160 (cropped).jpg|150x150px]] |2019 |{{Convert|6.05|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H175]] |Super medium twin-engine |[[File:H175M (52272090596).jpg|150x150px]] |2014 |{{Convert|7.8|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H215]] |Heavy twin-engine |[[File:AS332M1 Super Puma - RIAT 2014 (center).jpg|150x150px]] |1980 |{{Convert|9.15|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[H225]] |Heavy twin-engine |[[File:Airbus Helicopters H225 Super Puma Helimer 401 (cropped).jpg|150x150px]] |2004 |{{Convert|11.2|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[NH90]]{{efn|via 62.5% share in [[NHIndustries]] joint venture}} |Military utility twin-engine |[[File:78+29 German Army NHIndustries NH90 TTH ILA Berlin 2016 19.jpg|150x150px]] |2006 |{{Convert|10.6|t|lb|abbr=values}} |- |[[Eurocopter Tiger|Tiger]] |Military attack twin-engine |[[File:Eurocopter EC-665 Tiger UHT (crooped).jpg|150x150px]] |2003 |{{Convert|6.6|t|lb|abbr=values}} |} ===Projects=== *[[Eurocopter X3|XΒ³]] rotorcraft β hybrid helicopter with two forward propellers, which achieved a 255-knot speed milestone in level flight in June 2011.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.airbushelicopters.com/site/en/press/Eurocopter-s-X3-hybrid-helicopter-makes-aviation-history-in-achieving-a-speed-milestone-of-255-knots-during-level-flight_1046.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140527212324/http://www.airbushelicopters.com/site/en/press/Eurocopter-s-X3-hybrid-helicopter-makes-aviation-history-in-achieving-a-speed-milestone-of-255-knots-during-level-flight_1046.html|url-status=dead|title=Eurocopter's X3 hybrid helicopter makes aviation history in achieving a speed milestone of 255 knots during level flight|archive-date=27 May 2014}}</ref> *[[Airbus Helicopters X6]] β Two year concept study into the possible launch of an 11.5t helicopter to replace the H225.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/paris-airbus-helicopters-launches-x6-concept-phase-413665/|title=PARIS: Airbus Helicopters launches X6 concept phase|date=16 June 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.airbushelicopters.com/website/en/press/Airbus-Helicopters-launches-X6-concept-phase,-setting-the-standard-for-the-future-in-heavy-lift-rotorcraft_1771.html|title=Airbus Helicopters launches X6 concept phase, setting the standard for the future in heavy-lift rotorcraft|website=www.airbushelicopters.com|access-date=2016-07-08|date=16 March 2015}}</ref> * [[Airbus RACER]], experimental high-speed [[gyrodyne|compound helicopter]] developed from the XΒ³, targeting a 2020 first flight. * [[Airbus CityAirbus]], electrically powered [[VTOL]] aircraft demonstrator, intended for an air taxi role.
