Continuing a strategy that more and more looks like a complete renewal of its product line, Eurocopter has revealed it is working on two new helicopter projects – the X6, a revamped model to be developed from the Super Puma family, and the X9, a project just now getting under way at the company’s factory in Donauwörth, Germany.
The EADS subsidiary has been working feverishly on the development of the X3 and X4 helicopter models, both in the class of the Eurocopter EC 155. The big news is that Eurocopter has indeed started developing the long-rumored replacement for the Super Puma, which entered service in 1981 and is still being built today.
