Eurocopter EC135

Incorporating a modern cockpit and avionics - as well as Eurocopter\'s Fenestron® tail rotor and bearingless main rotor, the EC135 is recognized for its high performance and outstanding maneuverability. As one of the quietest helicopters in its class, the EC135 is approximately 7 DB below ICAO standards. This level represents a perceivable noise reduction of approximately 50 percent compared to older-generation helicopters in the same category - which is of particular importance to customers regularly flying over cities and in densely-populated areas.

The EC135 has also been designed with a high degree of crashworthiness, provided by the energy-absorbing fuselage and seats, along with crash-resistant fuel cells. It has a fast cruise speed of 137 KTS, and accommodates a pilot plus up to 6 passengers for transport missions.

Two FADEC-equipped Turbomeca Arrius 2B2 engines power the EC135. Both of these powerful, reliable turbine engines provide outstanding performance and vital reserves, even in one-engine inoperative scenarios.

Eurocopter AS350B3 A-Star

The A-star B3 is arguably the most powerful, fastest, and versatile medium single helicopter in the world. Paradigm Helicopters chose the A-star B3 to be able to surpass our competitor\'s Bell 407 capability. You will enjoy cruise airspeeds in excess of 150 MPH, while being able to carry up to 5 passengers in addition to the pilot. The B3 will out perform all aspects of the Bell 407 and will do it in a much safer platform. The B3 boasts Dual independent hydraulic systems and dual electronic fuel control computers. This level of safety and redundancy was only previously found in much larger multi-engine helicopters.

Paradigm\'s B3 has a large comfortable AIR CONDITIONED cabin laid out in an open cockpit design. There is no "back seat", so all passengers have unprecedented visibility. Our aircraft have unlimited peripheral power supply access for all your carry on electronic needs. We have Bluetooth headset capability, which affords our clients to utilize their own cell phones comfortably through our aircraft\'s headset system.
