medium lift (11-ton class)

helicopter.

The EC725 is equipped with:

• two latest generation

Turbomeca Makila 2A1 engines

• a five blade rotor providing high

levels of maneuverability

• a state-of the-art glass cockpit

and avionics

• the most advanced Automatic Flight Control System.

The EC725 performs a full range of military missions :

• Special Operations

• Combat Search and Rescue

• Tactical transport

• Casualty / medical evacuation.

In addition, for public services:

• Search and Rescue

• Fire-fighting

• Coast Guard

• Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) protection.

EC725 has operated from ships and ashore.

It is a truly multi-purpose, versatile military asset.

The most demanding missions

Special Ops, Combat SAR and Personal Recovery require performance, precise navigation and survivability. In these, the

EC725 is outstanding.

The French Forces are successfully operating the EC725 in the harshest possible environment, in Afghanistan.

The success of the EC725 demonstrated in Afghanistan, reflects the excellent capabilities of the EC725 as a Force Multiplier

and how this aircraft can offer decisive tactical advantage to any operator.
