EC635
Main description
Proven, reliable
and truly multipurpose
The EC635, the military version of the EC135, is Eurocopter’s 3-ton class, twin-engine helicopter. With its highly sophisticated observation equipment, long endurance, wide array of communication systems and large variety of armament, the EC635 is perfectly suited for the modern battlefield. The stealth and no-hear distance of the EC635 allow it to remain undetected throughout its mission – a crucial aspect for surveillance and reconnaissance operations.
