I am convinced that the level of innovation that the H160 brings to the market, whether it is passenger comfort, advanced pilot assistance, or its competiveness thanks to its increased fuel efficiency and simplified maintenance eco-system, combined with its inherent flexibility will make it a valuable asset to their&nbsp; operations,\u201d said Bruno Even, Airbus Helicopters CEO.&nbsp;<br><br>With 68 patents, the H160 integrates Airbus Helicopters\u2019 latest technological innovations aimed at providing passengers with superior comfort thanks to the sound-reducing Blue Edge blades and superb external visibility for both passengers and pilots, not to mention the additional safety features provided by Helionix\u2019s accrued pilot assistance features.
