The ACH130 Aston Martin Edition is the product of a fruitful collaboration between the aeronautical designers at Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) and the automotive designers at Aston Martin, marrying ACH’s key values of excellence, quality, and service with Aston Martin’s commitment to beauty, handcrafting, and automotive art. It brings a new level of aesthetics and rigorous attention to detail to the single-engine helicopter market.
