Airbus unveiled its H160 rotorcraft, a €1 billion ($1.06 billion) challenger to AgustaWestland's AW139, which has dominated the medium helicopter market for a decade. Formerly the X4, the H160 incorporates advanced technologies such as a carbon-fiber airframe and distinct composite blades with hockey-shaped tips to lower weight and improve fuel efficiency. Service entry is targeted for 2018 (page 44).
