When rescue helicopters take off, a few seconds can make all the difference. Whether they’re responding to a car accident in a city center, flying on a rescue mission in the mountains, or battling strong winds at sea—the extreme conditions place very high demands on the material. The Eurocopter EC135 has proven its reliability in air rescue operations thanks to its optimal safety and stability.

The rotors are stable, yet flexible and lightweight; the engines are reliable and powerful. Another safety element is invisible: the front windscreen made from Plexiglas from Evonik. It provides a panoramic view and protects pilots from UV rays, offering them clear visibility and maximum safety during a rescue mission.
