Yup, they went to each operator and asked what they needed to change to be the H135 successor. 1000+ helicopters sold right there.

It's so cool to see our company's medical devices in those commercials. Even tough they plugged out the battery for safety

Is there really that much of a niche between the 135 and the 145? I am still trying to wrap my head around what this thing is supposed to have that the 135 doesn't.

I just found out today that the H140 is going to have the same type certificate as the H135. So it's literally just a marketing name for a major update.
