Cabin Interior and Electronics
Eurocopter's bizjet-caliber interiors are 'first cabin'
Compared with business jet cabins, helicopter cabins–even those in many executive helicopters–lean toward the utilitarian.

Compared with business jet cabins, helicopter cabins–even those in many executive helicopters–lean toward the utilitarian. Now American Eurocopter, in partnership with Heritage Aviation Services (both in Grand Prairie, Texas), has designed a cabin interior for the EC 155 that offers business jet amenities along with embedded acoustical barriers for improved soundproofing. A prototype mockup of the interior is on display at Eurocopter’s NBAA booth (No. 3215).

Using a multi-wall cocoon concept, the Advanced Iso-Quiet Cocoon Interior also permits the EC 155 to be outfitted with a variety of seating configurations, from four-place VIP to 10-place high-density. Said Jerry Livezey, v-p of Heritage, “The Heritage interior allows quick change from one seating arrangement to another if the customer selects the optional seating packages.”
