The Eurocopter EC-145 (ICAO: EC45 / WAKE: LIGHT) is a twin-engine light utility helicopter. Created in Second Life by Spijkers & Wingtips, the aircraft was based on the real-life Eurocopter EC-145 manufactured by Eurocopter.
Background
Originally referred to as the BK 117 C2, the real-life EC-145 is based upon the MBB/Kawasaki BK 117 C1, which became a part of the Eurocopter line-up in 1992 when the company was formed through the merger of the Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm helicopter division of Daimler-Benz and the helicopter division of Aérospatiale-Matra. The EC-145 is a twin-engine aircraft and can carry up to nine passengers along with two crew, depending on customer configuration. The helicopter is marketed for passenger transport, corporate transport, emergency medical services (EMS), search and rescue, parapublic and utility roles.
Spijkers & Wingtips's Eurocopter EC-145 comes equipped with working lighting, and doors. Like all S&W helicopters, the aircraft uses an incremental collective/cyclic flight system and is fully modifiable.
