A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.

The Bo 105 first flew on 16 February 1967. Airbus’s anniversary account highlights a titanium rigid, hingeless rotor head and glass-fibre-reinforced blades. That rotor design is central to the aircraft’s story, alongside its long service in utility and emergency roles.
