The EC 135 descends from the MBB Bo 108. The Bo 108 was a demonstration prototype for fly-by-wire and has it's descent from the famous Bo 105.

When the Eurocopter company was founded, the Bo 108 came with. Eurocopter decided that there was a marketplace for such a helicopter and the development went on. From the French partners it got the fenestron, from MBB the hingeless rotor. The fenestron makes it very hard for dangerous situations in the range of the tail rotor and reduces the noise level about 50% to other helicopters. That's why the EC 135 is a highly recommended helicopter for EMS and the police, especially in Europe but also in the USA, Japan and other states.

[[File:EC135 P2 Cockpit.jpg|thumb|right|270px|(02/27/2013) EC135 P2 photorealistic Cockpit with analog flight instruments.  
This model for FlightGear simulates the EC135 P2, an older version which has been replaced later by the EC135 P2+. Since late autumn 2014 the current produced version of the EC135 by Airbus Helicopters is the much more powerful EC135 P3/T3
Overhead panel and many other details done as well as some important center pedestal avionics. Unfortunately the GNS430 and GTX430 are not working yet. Now it needs to connect the switches to the electrical system. FDM is finally tuned to POH and matches climbrates AEO and OEI and airspeed in about 90% all of conditions. :-) Needs to tune the rotor to the guessed behavior ]]

==Developement repositories==
Developement takes place at [https://github.com/HHS81/ec135 Github]; when milestones or other important steps had been taken, [https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon/HEAD/tree/trunk/Aircraft/ec135/ FGAddon] will regularly  updated

==Development status/Features:==


[[File:EC135 Air Zermatt.jpg||thumb|left|270px|New EC135 - "Air Zermatt" by Sanni]]
* new 3d-model more accurate and detailed, single-livery-texture-file
* latest shader (bumpspec-reflection and glasshader)
* realistic startup
* new, much more accurate fdm matching 90% of Pilot Operations Handbook values AEO, OEI and Airspeed
* matching tech reports in flight handling 
* more different configurations possible- lowskid, midskid and highskid, different sandfilter, different radomes etc...
* analog dual and single IFR panel available and selectable  with photorealistic textures
* influence of configurations on weight and CoG based on Pilot Operations Handbook
* many different liveries by Sanni, D-ECHO and me!
* and of course completely Rembrandt compatible!
* Sounds remastered


[[File:EC135NEW2.jpg|thumb|right|270px|New EC135 - here the "Offshore"variant]]


[[File:EC135NEWBP.jpg|thumb|left|270px|New EC135 - here the converted "Bundespolizei"-livery by Sanni aka Tanja S.]]
==Todo/Expected ==
 
* Autostart, more accurate simulation of the systems (hydraulic, ....)
[[File:EC135NEW1.jpg|thumb|right|270px|New EC135 - here the "Mountain rescue" variant]]
* emergency float simulation
 
* Sound needs a bit work on the "exhaust sound" and the aural warning system must be done (soundfiles mostly complete)
[[File:Ec135_LFLJ.jpg|thumb|left|270px|EC 135 "D-HECZ" (prototype) in FGFS 1.9.1 takes off above the clouds at Courchevel; see [[Flying the helicopter]] ]]
* making CAD and VEMD and the most important systems working (Canvas)
===Next upcoming version v1.0 (2013)currently in own repo on gitorious.org===
* different selectable interiors influencing weight HEMS modelled, VIP and Utility(Police)
Expected
* Digital Dual and Single IFR Panel
 
* conversion to EC 635 (needs some changes on exterior and interior model)
* <strike>new 3d-model more accurate and detailed, single-livery-texture-file</strike>    DONE!
* conversion to EC 135 P3 (longer rotorblades, no endplates, smaller tailbumper, new IBF, more powerful engines = more lift, more power! )
* <strike>latest shader (bumpspec-reflection and glasshader)</strike>    DONE!
* seperate AI model to keep mp-users happy  
* new, much more accurate fdm matching 90% of Pilot Operations Handbook values AEO, OEI and Airspeed  NEXT TASK:  NEEDS FINE TUNING (SAS/rotor behaviour)
* <strike>more different configurations possible- lowskid, midskid and highskid, different sandfilter, different radomes etc...</strike>  DONE!
* different selectable interiors influencing weight HEMS modelled, VIP and Utility(Police) following LATE SPRING/ EARLY SUMMER
* influence of configurations on weight and CoG based on Pilot Operations Handbook  IN WORK, LATE SPRING/ EARLY SUMMER
* making CAD and VEMD and the most important systems working  LATE SPRING/ EARLY SUMMER
* <strike>many different liveries. Thanks to Sanni!</strike>    DONE!
* <strike>finally a complete flightdeck with photorealistic analog panel</strike>    DONE!
* <strike>and of course completely Rembrandt compatible!</strike>    DONE!
* <strike>Sounds remastered</strike>    DONE! NEXT TASK: Sound needs a bit work on the "exhaust sound" and the aural warning system must be done (soundfiles mostly complete)
* seperate AI model to keep mp-users happy NEXT TASK: SOMEWHERE IN 2013
* and more to come....
* and more to come....
