# Affluent Aviation The Eurocopter EC145 Mercedes-Benz Style Lets High-Flyers Live it Up By Jason Soy | Published 2011-05-18 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eurocopter-ec145-mercedes-benz-style References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2011/05/17/mercedes-benz-x-eads-eurocopter-ec145-mercedes-benz-style-luxury-helicopter/) The Eurocopter EC145 Mercedes-Benz Style is making all the other helicopters jealous with its [luxurious specs and add-ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modified-luxury-vehicle). No longer will you have to ride in helicopters without leather upholstery like all the other chopper chumps (though if you do own a personal helicopter, I'm assuming you're doing pretty well for yourself anyways). This rad aerial ride not only has an impressive exterior design, but the interior is what truly makes this a Mercedes-Benz vehicle. People riding this affluent transport will be treated to wooden paneling and flooring, ambient interior lighting, a 15-inch monitor with a DVD player, a cooler and even a table. If you want to be a [pimped-out pilot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamond-pilots-pendant), there's simply no other vehicle of choice other than this Eurocopter EC145 Mercedes-Benz Style helicopter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Helicopters:** The trend of luxury helicopters is on the rise, offering high-fliers the ultimate in opulence and comfort during their aerial travels. - **Aircraft Interior Design:** Aircraft interior design is becoming increasingly important, as affluent customers seek personalized and luxurious experiences while flying. - **In-flight Entertainment:** The demand for in-flight entertainment systems is growing, as high-end helicopters like the Eurocopter EC145 Mercedes-Benz Style offer advanced multimedia options to enhance the passenger experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Aviation:** The luxury aviation industry can take advantage of the demand for high-end helicopters, creating customized and extravagant flying experiences for wealthy customers. - **Aircraft Manufacturing:** Aircraft manufacturing companies can tap into the market for luxurious helicopters by partnering with renowned luxury brands to create opulent and stylish aircraft designs. - **Entertainment Technology:** The entertainment technology industry can explore opportunities to develop innovative in-flight entertainment systems for luxury helicopters, incorporating features like personalized media, streaming services, and immersive audiovisual experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Custom Auto Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexani-motorcars.md) - [Entertainment-Integrated Luxe Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-v.md) - [Luxuriously Appointed Off-Road Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimog-u-4023-luxury.md) - [Luxury Electric Van Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-vision-v.md) - [Opulent Extreme Environment SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-xl-800-cabrio-gwagen.md) - [Ruggedly Chic Luxury Motorhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chic-luxury-motorhome.md) - [Airline-Inspired Bespoke Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airline-seat-specification.md) - [Dazzling Rose-Hued SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-gclass-stronger-than-diamonds-edition.md) - [Luxury Electric Hovercrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arosa-hovercraft.md)
