The Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm Company has gained good experience with its light helicopter MBB - BO 105, which is engaged in civilian as well as in military operations. Up to now, more than 300 BO 105 helicopters have been delivered to customers, and some 250 000 hours of flight time have been accumulated. The first helicopters have about 5 000 flight hours. This experience is especially valuable because the BO 105 is the first production helicopter with a hingeless rotor and fiberglass rotorblades which has been able to prove its ability in practical operation consistently over a long period of time. The broad spectrum of operation and experience includes the following types of missions in civilian operation: utility, executive, rescue, police, offshore, lighthouse supply, as well as LOH, scout and antitank-missions in military operation.
