Business and private aviation brand Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) has released ACH Yacht Interface, a unique augmented reality application designed to make life easier for superyacht customers, designers and boat builders alike.

It will help them to integrate the helipad into their yacht design and to select the right rotorcraft for aesthetic and technical reasons.

Airbus Corporate Helicopters (ACH) is one of the Airbus brands that is the only company in the world to offer customized solutions for luxury aircraft and helicopters.

Innovative software developed for iOS makes it possible to see the helicopter on the deck of your yacht in augmented reality or in 3D.

Thanks to ACH Yacht Interface, it will be possible to create the best conditions for the placement of the helicopter on board. The app will also prevent costly modifications to the vessel at the design stage.

The application is loaded with a number of popular models from Airbus, including the ACH 130, 145, 160 and 175. The application contains all the necessary information about the aircraft (length, width, weight, height, etc.) so that an informed choice can be made in favor of one of them. In addition, the application provides practical advice on how to use helicopters on board to avoid unpleasant incidents, such as the one in May this year.

The novelty generated a lot of interest at the Monaco Yacht Show 2017, where Airbus made a striking presentation of two new helicopters: the ACH155 Exclusive on Damen's vessel 6711 and the ACH 130 on the roof of one of the Yacht Club de Monaco docks.
