Eurocopter’s EC 145 light twin-engine helicopter has received a makeover in the form of the Stylence (a play on “style” and “silence”) interior upgrade. The refreshed model features sleek leather seating.
The Stylence cabin, first introduced in 2003 in the EC 130 and later brought to the EC 120 and AS 350 B2/B3 and AS 355 NP, represents a merger of “ergonomics and advanced technology,” according to Christine Fraud, manager of executive and VIP transport and VIP applications at Eurocopter. The interior features quick-change seating for five to eight passengers, carbon-fiber accents and in-flight office tools including Iridium satellite phones. The Stylence upgrade adds about $270,000 to the base helicopter’s $7.5 million price tag.
