Airbus Helicopters, February 26, 2026 - São Paulo, Brazil - Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) and Mercedes-Benz have unveiled the new ACH145 Mercedes-Benz Edition helicopter at a showcase event in São Paulo, the city with one of the highest concentrations of private and business helicopters in the world.

In collaboration since 2010, this pioneering automotive and aviation partnership has delivered 26 unique examples of the previous ACH145 Mercedes-Benz Style to customers.

Following a renewal of the partnership agreement in 2021, collaboration between both companies has been extended, with a special focus on embedding the Mercedes-Benz new design philosophy Sensual Purity, reflected in the name change, of the now ACH145 Mercedes-Benz Edition.

With options for four to eight-seater layouts, the aircraft now offers customers a tailored choice from one of six signature design concepts.

Frederic Lemos, Head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters, said “As a result of the renewal of the highly successful design collaboration which introduced the concept of partnerships between the automotive and aerospace industries in 2010, ACH and Mercedes-Benz have brought together the DNA of two icons: the versatile and robust ACH145 and the charisma of Mercedes-Benz. Today, discerning customers can travel in a Mercedes-Benz level of comfort and style, on land and in the air”

Based on the latest, five-bladed variant of the H145, the ACH145 offers a smoother flight and greater in-flight comfort, reduced noise levels, as well as an increase of 150 kg of useful payload. This ensures customers are able to arrive anywhere, leveraging the aircraft not just as a form of travel, but as a business tool for global entrepreneurs whose business interests need them to be able to reach and operate across regions and time zones.
