Meet Airbus H130 / Eurocopter EC130
Eurocopter developed the EC130 from the AS350 Écureuil, changing the tail arrangement to an enclosed Fenestron. The product later took the H130 name under Airbus Helicopters. The two names reflect that corporate and product history. Individual variants and operator configurations still need their own equipment context.
