The continued development of the EC725 helicopter made helicopter this model has the capability of flight conveyor or higher target. The main rotor blades or using a five petals. The rotor is made of composite materials that are stronger and lighter than aluminum alloy rotors. The main rotor or rotor is designed to have a good aerodynamic.To reduce vibration during operation. The body of the EC725 can be modified to install a bulletproof vest for a flight into space battle at high risk. The body of the machine is made of aluminum alloy and then. There are certain structures made of carbon composites to reduce weight.

Airbus Helicopter EC725 install turbo-sharp high-energy number two. The engine of Turbomeca Makila 1A4 engines, a Turboshaft be installed above the cabin. The number two engine control systems to prevent errors. Both sets include a flight control system Full Authority Digital Engine Control - FADEC.

Airbus Helicopter EC725 is equipped with a system to melt and prevent ice to remain capable of flight operations in areas with cold damage other equipment is improved from the first generation is to strengthen the Main Rotor Gearbox included. The meter consists of a Glass Cockpit Aviation cockpit are used to monitor the system. The three-dimensional navigation system screen is Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display.

You look and effectiveness of Hong flight operations. Airbus Helicopter EC725 can fly search and rescue missions in both day and night. With regular use radar and FLIR Forward Looking Infra Red devices with a modern Airbus Helicopter EC725 flight operations make it all weather conditions. It can be installed in a variety of military equipment, including weapons such as machine guns, air 7.62mm FN MAG first double podium installed at the side of the windscreen, both left and right.

The property consists of Airbus Helicopter EC725 shape than most typical medium transport helicopter. The body has a length of 19.50 meters and a rotor diameter of 16.2 meters president or the main rotor height ratio of 4.6 meters and powered by the high performance of the machine. A turbo Sharp models Turbomeca Makila 2A1 performance in flight maximum speed at 324 kilometers per hour Range (fly away), 1452 km altitude up to 6095 meters and speed of travel, usually at 277 kilometers per hour, can fly for 4 hours. You can get the refueling from a KC-130 aircraft or Airbus A-400M.

Cockpit or cabin on the Airbus Helicopter EC725 is a Glass Cockpit equipped with aviation and aviation art installation screen Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display size 6×8 inch, 4 monitors and monitors of 4×5-inch second screen installation. Advanced Hilicopter Cockpit and Avionics System or AHCAS include flight control system, automatic automatic Flight Control System System navigation and tactical missions Tactical Mission data installing the sensors, including radar navigation of Airbus Helicopter EC725 some countries have been caught. FLIR or Forward Looking Infrared device has the capability to search and rescue missions, day and night. Can install electronic warfare systems for self-defense, including Radar Warning Receiver / Laser Warning Receiver / Missile Approach Warner and Chaff and Flare Dispenser.

Year 2552 Project Air Force helicopter (helicopter) medium for search and rescue in the battle area (Phase 1) 4 units with equipment, spare parts, training and building improvements 5,000 million credit facility. THB period of three years (2553-2555 BC), the project was divided into three stages with the first stage 4 and stage two and stage three, four and eight, including 16 to replace the hot air. UH-1H fleet. Lopburi 203 (Base Squadron at Lopburi. But there were placed all over the country) that will last for close to 50 years longer with the needs helicopters to replace the supply helicopter sized (weight run up to no less than 8,500 Kg. . or carry more than 15 persons) for search and rescue, tactical (Combat Search & Rescue, CSAR) with equipment, spare parts, training and technical documentation. The tender The rotary wing aircraft, helicopters, including four that submitted tenders.

1. AW139 AgustaWestland from Italy

2. Mi-17 from Kazan / Ulan-Ude, Russia.

3. S-92 Sikorsky from the United States.

4. EC725 from Eurocopter (Airbus Helicopter) France.

Later, the Air Force has eliminated two options AW139 and Mi-17 helicopter AW139, which is expected to be smaller than average. And a generation CSAR helicopter Mi-17Sh which was launched just a few years. And orders is relatively low. (Not counting Hong. Mi-17. Conveyor models sold enormously).

In addition, the Indian Army was experiencing difficulty using helicopters Mi-25 and Mi-35 lost engine power when operating in the Himalayan Himalayan battle with Pakistan by helicopter family of which the engine Klimov TV3-117. as well as Mi-17 family, it may be one reason the Air Force did not choose Hong. Mi-17, this problem is not going to Turin. Mi-17V5 military transport is primarily used in the mission. Not for rescue It is only two S-92 (HH-92 is expected to be hot. CSAR’s helicopter family) and Hong EC725 however. HH-92 does not have any domestic supply. Or that Helicopter for the CSAR mission in the family of S-92 does not have any use at all. Many are used in shuttle missions, VIP or VVIP like Thailand Air Force has deployed three ships, a helicopter of the Royal Automobile Club. And the procession went by helicopter Compared with Hong. EC725 which was caused by the needs of the French Air Force. It’s the supply. CSAR made by that time, the country has more than 30 countries supplying it to work in the same mission. (And there are many practical applications in the field) and more than 130 aircraft.

Airbus Helicopter EC725 taxes are much better than the HH-92 team sites.Thaiarmedforce.com said “… air force with the intention to supply S-92 to S-92 with the supply of three aircraft, a helicopter, the Royal Automobile Club recently acquired.However, sources indicate that S-92 does not offer search and rescue equipment to the Air Force.
