HistoryThe Bo 105A made its maiden flight on February 16th, 1967 at Ottobrunn in Germany with Wilfried von Engelhardt, a seasoned test pilot from Messerschmitt-Blohm, at the controls. The German Civil Aviation Authority granted certification to the helicopter on October 13th, 1970 and production for German civil and law enforcement organizations began shortly thereafter. Further safety certification by the FAA was awarded in April 1972 with United States export orders following.The Bo 105C was developed in 1972 and the German Ministry of Defence selected this model for its light observation helicopter program, purchasing 100 helicopters in 1977. A specialist anti-tank version armed with HOT missiles from Euromissile and designated as the PAH-1 was procured by the German Army around the same time, with a total of 212 eventually being delivered.In 1976, the Bo 105CB was developed with more powerful Allison 250-C20B engines. This was further developed as the Bo 105CBS with the enlargement of the fuselage by 10 inches to meet American market demands for emergency medical service operations, with this version becoming known as the Twin Jet in the United States.In 1984, the Bo 105LS was developed with the enlarged fuselage of the Bo 105CBS combined with more powerful Allison 250-C28C engines to increase the maximum take-off weight.Production ended in 2001, due to the Bo 105 being superseded by the modern Eurocopter EC 135, after a total of 1,406 machines had been built.Price: $119.00 Date added: August 6, 2015Last update: October 21, 2015Product id: 55c3592eccff75b0688b45c3
