 === The Real Thing ===
-Indeed “EC130 B4” is just a marketing name by [[Eurocopter]], now known as Airbus Helicopters, 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 rotor and hydraulics system from the AS355. It is also equipped with a fan tail (fenestron) instead of the conventional two-blade tailrotor. With this the EC130 B4 is much less noisier  than other helicopters of this class.

-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 EC130 B4 has been built until 2013. Now it is replaced by the improved EC130 T2, with a new and more powerful Turbomeca Arriel 2D engine and a 70% modified airframe. The exterior, cockpit and interior has been also modified.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airbushelicopters.com/site/en/ref/Characteristics_1180.html |title=EC130 T2  |publisher=www.airbushelicopters.com }}</ref>
