The EC145 Mercedes-Benz Helicopter has just been unveiled in Geneva for the 2010 European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition. The EC145 luxury helicopter sort of resembles the inside of a Mercedes-Benz with its wood fittings from floor to ceiling and plush inside style.
The EC145 Mercedes-Benz helicopter is the only one of its kind and can supposedly seat up to eight passengers. The actual position of the seats can be reconfigured due to the railings that the seats are mounted on, emulating Mercedes' R-Class crossover line of cars. The chopper is also fitted with a TV monitor and DVD player.
