Eurocopter's BK117B-2, which is a variant of the Bolkow BK-117 introduced in 1983, is a medium-sized twin-turbine helicopter, popular for emergency medical work, thanks to the ease of stretcher loading through its large rear clamshell doors. It replaced the BK117B-1 in production and has new tail rotor blades and better hot and high performance.
