The ACH145 is the VVIP variant of the EC145T2 customized by Airbus Corporate Helicopters with customer specific needs.
It is the successor of the EC145 MB. Launch customer was Brazilian company Bodepan.
The 2026 edition is based on the 5-bladed H145D3
The ACH145 Mercedes-Benz Edition originated in 2010 as a collaboration between Airbus Helicopters—then operating as Eurocopter—and the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studio in Como, Italy. Initially introduced as the “Mercedes-Benz Style” helicopter, the project aimed to translate automotive luxury design principles into the rotorcraft sector, targeting private and corporate customers.
The partnership was updated in 2017 to align with the newer H145 platform, incorporating revised interior concepts influenced by contemporary Mercedes-Benz models such as the S-Class and GLS. The current configuration is based on the five-bladed H145, combining an upgraded airframe with a modular cabin design. This version integrates premium materials, ambient lighting, and multifunction cabin elements, alongside improvements in payload capacity and flight smoothness.
