Wednesday, 14 March 2012

Dallas, Texas, Eurocopter an EADS Company have selected Cobham’s Digital Audio Control System (DACS) as forward-fit for the new Eurocopter EC175. Since 2008, DACS has been forward-fit on many medium and heavy helicopters, including the EC135, 635, 225, 725, and 155.

The EC175, a seven metric ton-category helicopter, will feature enhanced range and payload capabilities for 12-, 16-, and 18-passenger configurations when it enters service in late 2012. Two EC175 prototypes at Eurocopter’s Marignane, France location have logged nearly 300 flight hours to date.
