If you want to describe the advantages of having your own helicopter to laymen, the following statement always pulls: “Imagine a beautiful villa. With 500 square meters of floor space, highest standard of furnishing. Rooms, i.e. cabins, with their own balcony. A pool, a gym and your own chef. And now imagine that this villa can go on a trip and stay in the most beautiful places and then just keep going.” This is the world of large yachts. And to get on these mega yachts, you need a helicopter. Not just any one – ideally one specially designed for the yacht. Frederic Lemos, Head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters:
“With approximately 300 helicopter-capable yachts worldwide, the demand for more reliable, compact and versatile helicopters that can carry passengers and cargo in all environments is increasing.”
Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH), in collaboration with ACH Creative Style Studio, designs the interiors of privately used helicopters for wealthy clients. But even they have to reject some requests, even though beauty is of vital importance to Airbus Corporate Helicopters and its customers. In fact, one of the biggest difficulties for interior design is the fact that every little detail has to be certified by the relevant aviation regulators with a view to safety. The demands on interior designers are correspondingly high. You must always take into account the weight of the furniture and make sure that the materials used are non-flammable. And so, with the ACH-Line, care is taken from the very beginning that in addition to the perfect technology, the design and interior are of noble quality. Equipped with the configuration of the ACH-Line, the updated Helionix equipment is designed for use in marine, urban and off-road environments. According to Airbus, the aircraft builds on the robust and reliable capabilities and SUV-like balance between comfort and versatility.
