Vertical Flight Solutions (VFS) by EuroTec is proud to announce the addition of three new FAA STC approvals for its next-generation of Lithium-ion Battery kits, further expanding the capabilities of Airbus EC130 and H125/AS350 operators. Tailboom battery installations are now FAA certified, covering the TB20 and TB30 for H125/AS350 helicopters and the TB20 for EC130 models.
“As an industry focused on the future of aircraft power, our new STC’s deliver a smarter, lighter and more efficient solution to operators who need it most” Chad Decker, President of EuroTec.
Drop the pounds, not the power.
EC130 operators can now benefit from the next-generation True Blue Power, with the TB20 delivering significant weight savings of up to 21.5 pounds.
H125/AS350 operators with the existing Eurocopter Canada LTD (ECL) STC #SH96-31 (TCCA) or #ST00422NY (FAA) can achieve weight savings of up to 42.5 pounds with the TB20 and 34.3 pounds with the TB30.
Both the TB20 and TB30 offer a lightweight, high-performance solution. By upgrading to the VFS Lithium-ion Battery STC, operators now have room for extra cargo, or another power-boosting option such as the BLR Fast Fin Kit.
Lithium-Ion Technology: Powering a Smarter Future
The True Blue lithium-ion technology delivers real-time state-of-charge information, and reduced hot starts, giving operators peace of mind in critical missions. Whether flying air medical, utility, or VIP, these FAA-approved kits offer a lighter, safer, and smarter energy solution—with no maintenance and a useful life of 8+ years.
Currently approved configurations include:
TB20 – H125/AS350 RH Baggage Compartment (FAA/TCCA)
TB20 – H125/AS350 Tailboom (FAA/TCCA)
TB30 – H125/AS350 Tailboom (FAA/TCCA)
TB20 – EC130 Tailboom (FAA/TCCA)
