History
Lançado em 2012 como EC130 T2, rebranded H130 em 2014
Eurocopter certificou o EC130 T2 em 2012 como evolução do EC130 B4, motor mais potente Arriel 2D (952 shp vs. 847), cabine alargada em 12 cm, peso vazio reduzido por uso de composites e flat-floor reconfigurável. Em 2014, com unificação Airbus Helicopters, virou H130. Mais de 250 unidades H130 produzidas entre 2012-2024. Plataforma única no portfólio Airbus single-turbine, H125 (utility) é versão sem Fenestron, H130 é versão tour/VIP.
Versão SAR/EMS H130 com hoist e equipamento médico
Airbus oferece versão H130 SAR/EMS com guincho de resgate (hoist) montável e cabine traseira flat reconfigurada para 1 maca + 2 ATLS providers + equipamento médico. Air Methods (EUA) opera H130 em algumas regiões para HEMS short-range. Limitação: single-engine não atende contratos EMS noturnos IFR, esses operadores ficam em H135/H145 twin. H130 EMS encontra nicho em day-VFR HEMS rural.
Market position
Market position analysis pending.
Brazil Fleet
Estimativa preliminar, variante turística.
EC130 / H130 (variante da família AS350 com cabine alargada, 2001-presente) tem presença BR sólida em operações turísticas (Foz do Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro Christ-Sugarloaf, Bonito MS). Estimativa 30-50 unidades.
Diferencial: cabine 7 pax + piloto (vs 6 do AS350), portas largas, vista panorâmica. Motor Arriel 2D (FADEC). Operadores típicos: empresas de tour (Helisul, Helisight em RJ, Helitur Foz do Iguaçu), e UHNW que preferem cabine maior. Mercado pre-owned EC130 B4: US$ 2.5-3.5M. H130 (T2, 2012+): US$ 3-5M.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Cabine alargada 12 cm permite 8 PAX com conforto
O H130 traz cabine alargada em 12 cm vs. EC130 B4 e configuração flat-floor totalmente reconfigurável, permite 8 PAX (1 piloto + 7 passageiros) ou configurações VIP de 5 PAX em poltronas executivas individualizadas. Janelas panorâmicas amplas (60% maiores que AS350) maximizam experiência de tour. Air Methods (operadora EMS americana) usa H130 em algumas operações HEMS ground-loaded (cabine traseira flat permite carregar maca pela porta clamshell).
Fenestron de 10 pás é o mais silencioso da categoria
O Fenestron do H130 evoluiu para configuração de 10 pás (vs. 8-9 dos modelos anteriores), espaçamento variável entre pás reduz ruído tonal característico. Resultado: H130 é certificado para operação em zonas com restrições acústicas extremas (Grand Canyon Special Flight Rules Area, parques nacionais europeus, helicidades urbanas). Alguns operadores em SP/RJ adotam H130 vs. AS350 especificamente para evitar reclamações de ruído em rotas urbanas.
Limitations
MSRP USD 4M coloca em mesma faixa que H135 twin
MSRP 2024 do H130 é USD 4.0M, mesmo patamar que o H135 twin-turbine (USD 4.5M). Para operadores que precisam de cabine 7-8 PAX e ruído baixo, decisão fica entre H130 (single, mais barato operação ~USD 920/h) e H135 (twin, IFR, melhor segurança ~USD 1.500/h). Mercado tende a separar: operadores VFR turísticos ficam com H130, operadores corporate VIP/EMS migram para H135 ou H145.
Curiosities
Operadores Grand Canyon padronizam em H130 vs. AS350
Grand Canyon é o maior mercado mundial de tours em helicóptero, operadores Maverick, Papillon, Sundance e Grand Canyon Helicopters têm mais de 200 unidades H130/EC130 voando diariamente. Por que não AS350? Restrições acústicas do National Park Service exigem o quietest helicopter on market, Fenestron é decisivo. Frota é atualizada em ciclo 8-10 anos, gerando mercado usado constante de EC130 B4 com 8.000+ horas a USD 1.5-2M.
