Following a four-week demonstration tour of the Airbus H160 in Australia, logistics and supply chain specialist Linfox placed the first order for an H160 in the country. The company plans to use the helicopter, its first order from Airbus, for passenger flights in Australia.

Equipped with a Fenestron shrouded tail rotor system and Airbus’ Helionix avionics suite, and powered by two Safran Arrano turbine engines, the H160 can fly up to 480 nm with standard fuel tanks. Depending on the interior configuration, it can carry as many as 12 passengers and one or two pilots, and the recommended cruise speed is 138 knots.
