Eurocopter's Stealth Mock-Up
Well, not exactly. But Eurocopter's
low-profile exhibit at Booth 7030, abutting the south wall of Hall
7, is virtually hidden behind Honeywell and Jet Aviation. Eurocopter's
presence isn't even noted in the EBACE pocket directory or the convention
floor plan.
"We made a late decision to attend EBACE," explained Christine
Fraud, one of two Eurocopter executives staffing the booth. So when
Eurocopter decided to rent booth space, the EBACE guidebooks and
maps already were on the presses.
Eurocopter's EC 155B mock-up, as a result, is almost stealth-like,
given its obscure location. EC 155B accommodates eight passengers
in luxury, but has a 12-seat capacity. It can cruise at 145 knots
and has a maximum range of 472 miles.
