The Eurocopter AS355 Twin Squirrel Helicopter is produced by EADS. Formed by the merger of the helicopter divisions of Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm (MBB) from Germany and Aerospatiale from France in the early 90s, the group is now a subsidiary owned 100% by EADS (European Aeronautic, Defence and Space Company); the twin-engine AS 355 TwinStar was certified in 1980. The manufacturer then consistently developed the helicopter from the basic model, constantly upgrading, adapting and modernizing them in close contact with the customers as well as anticipating and meeting new market requirements. A reliable and extremely versatile helicopter.
