Airbus Helicopters has delivered the first H175 medium twin with a luxury cabin. The two-zone, seven-passenger layout has a club-four configuration of single executive seats followed by an aft three-place divan. Pegasus Design provided the 434-cu-ft interior for an unidentified private customer who plans to base the helicopter on a yacht in Europe. It is likely a big boat, as the H175 has an mtow of 17,180 pounds.
