What is Airbus’s helicopter division called?

The story behind the answer

Airbus’s helicopter division is called Airbus Helicopters.

The division is one of Airbus’s major business segments and develops, manufactures, sells and supports civil and military helicopters. Its product range includes light single-engine models, medium twin-engine helicopters and heavy military transports.

The organization was previously known as Eurocopter, a name created in 1992 through the merger of helicopter activities from France’s Aérospatiale and Germany’s MBB. It adopted the Airbus Helicopters name in 2014 as part of the broader Airbus rebranding.

Eurocopter remains a common historical reference, but it is not the division’s current official name. Airbus Helicopters is headquartered in Marignane, France, one of the world’s major centers for helicopter design and production.
