While the first two prototypes of the Eurocopter EC145 T2 are employed in the flight-test programme, the manufacturer is showing a mock-up of the upgraded medium-twin in special forces configuration as part of its static display between halls 2 and 3.
The aircraft had its first flight in June 2010 and Eurocopter is aiming for certification around the end of this year. The most distinctive feature that differentiates the T2 from the standard EC145 is the shrouded "Fenestron" tail rotor, which required a completely redesigned empennage and tail boom - all of which is now made out of carbon composite.
