Significant effort has been put into promoting the Hermes Edition of the Eurocopter EC135. Eurocopter aimed this project at the high-end corporate market where they partnered with the French couture house to come up with a distinctive design, mainly in the aircraft’s interior – see below. Some external features were also added, particularly the skid design and the colour scheme, whcih is finished off with the name ” L’Helicoptère ” marking the French nationality of its sponsor.
Having recently announced the 1,000th EC135 being delivered, it perhaps seems a surprise that Eurocopter have made just four Hermes EC135s, and sold three of them. Details of serial numbers, registrations and owners are listed below
