True Blue Power lithium-ion battery in Airbus H125 helicopter
Airwolf Aerospace has developed STCs for installation of True Blue Power lithium-ion batteries such as this TB17 in an Airbus H125.

Helicopter operators in Japan can now replace main-ship batteries with True Blue Power lithium-ion batteries under Airwolf Aerospace supplemental type certificates (STCs) recently approved by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB). The STCs cover the TB17 and TB20 batteries and add the JCAB to the list of regulators that have approved installation in a variety of helicopters, including the FAA, EASA, Brazil’s ANAC, Transport Canada, and UK CAA.

Helicopters covered by the JCAB STCs include the Airbus Helicopters H125/AS350, AS355, EC120, and H130/EC130; Bell 206A/B and 206L/L1/L3/L4; Enstrom 480B; Hiller UH-12E; and MD Helicopters MD 369/500.
