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.
