This is a model of a Eurocopter EC130 B4, a single engine light helicopter based and developed from their AS350's. | This is a model of a '''Eurocopter EC130 B4''', a single engine light [[helicopter]] based and developed from their [[Ecureuil AS 350 Helicopter|AS350]]'s. | ||
Indeed “EC130 B4” is just a marketing name by Eurocopter, the real name is still AS350 B4. It is a widebody variant of the AS350 B3 with a completely new designed passenger cabin and fuselage, and equipped with a fan tail instead of the conventional two-blade tailrotor. With this the EC130 B4 is much less noisier than other helicopters of this class. | Indeed “EC130 B4” is just a marketing name by [[Eurocopter]], the real name is still AS350 B4.

The helicopter was designed especially for tours, so it features a great visibility, a left-seated pilot and plenty of space inside. The EC130 B4 is also used by the police in Long Beach/CA and by several medical services. | The helicopter was designed especially for tours, so it features a great visibility, a left-seated pilot and plenty of space inside.

With using [[Nasal]]-scripting nearly all main systems has been simulated to a degree which wasn't available at this time on [[FlightGear]]'s helicopters. The [[flight dynamics model]] is custom made and though a lot of values could only be guestimate, it should give an good impression on how the real one flies. | |||
Systems and Procedures are based on the real Flight Manual and as there is no Autostart available the helicopter has to be started and shutdown by using the checklist. | Systems and Procedures are based on the real Flight Manual and as there is no Autostart available the helicopter has to be started and shutdown by using the checklist. | ||
