Within the framework of the project EASA.2007.C16, Eurocopter was contracted by EASA to study the addition of floatation devices in the upper part of the rotorcraft in order to prevent its total inversion after a capsize event. Two solutions were studied: foam-filled cowling panels attached to the upper fairing of the helicopter, and floats placed above the cabin walls. The efficiency of the systems was investigated by means of model tests, and the technical feasibility was studied for a passenger transport helicopter.
