Airbus Helicopters plans to unveil its all-new X4 rotorcraft at Heli-Expo next week.
The X4 is to be unveiled March 3 at 11 a.m. EST at Airbus Helicopters’ Heli-Expo booth in the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida.

Incorporating Airbus Helicopters’ expertise in aerodynamics, rotor blade design and avionics, the twin-engine X4 is an all-new medium-sized aircraft capable of a full range of civil and parapublic missions.
“The X4’s public debut is one of the most anticipated events at Heli-Expo 2015, and we look forward to the excitement of sharing our vision for the future,” said President Guillaume Faury.
“This year’s Heli-Expo will demonstrate Airbus Helicopters’ unwavering commitment to our priorities of
