NASA Airbus H135 “NASA 435” N435NA is an art print from an original illustration. This is not a photograph, a sim game screenshot, or AI. Meticulously detailed, the helicopter is set against the winged star of life, and the description text is bordered by the REACH patch, the REACH 38 insignia, and the American and California state flags.
Perfect for award presentations, the office or home, or as a gift for that helicopter fan.
Printed on high quality, heavy weight Luster paper using a 12-color pigmented, archival ink system.
The description on the print states:
N435NA is a NASA Airbus H135 helicopter based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Its primary missions include space-launch contingency support, security, surveillance, wildlife control, and emergency response for Kennedy’s H135 fleet. The aircraft is equipped with infrared cameras for nighttime surveillance, stabilized camera platforms, and the ability to stream images to personnel on the ground and help monitor Kennedy’s roughly 140,000 acres. Built-in medical-equipment mounts and instrument-flight capability allow transportation of injured personnel in unfavorable weather. NASA also uses the helicopter to support potential launch-pad emergencies. This particular aircraft received a significant amount of airtime on national television during the Osiris-REx mission’s recovery phase providing aerial camera coverage of the Sample Return Capsule’s landing at the U.S. Air Force’s Utah Test and Training Range, in Utah’s West Desert on September 24, 2023.
Powered by two Safran Arrius 2B2 Plus turboshaft engines using FADEC to automatically monitor and manage fuel flow and engine operation, the aircraft has a cruise speed of 160 mph and a range of 340 nautical miles.
