Helicopters

Designed, built and supported by Leonardo in the UK, our helicopters empower aircrews around the world to enhance operations in defence of our national security and deliver life-saving care when responding to emergency and rescue calls.

With their long-range endurance and capacity to operate in all weather conditions, Leonardo helicopters are ideally suited to a wide range of commercial rotary operations.

Leonardo UK's aeronautics engineering excellence has underpinned the design and manufacture of military helicopters for armed forces around the world throughout the history of flight.

Leonardo UK’s Helicopter CS&T facility plays a critical role in managing customer requirements, by providing through-life training and in-service support to the company’s helicopters customers.
