Modern, spacious and powerful, the ACH145 is on the list of the best helicopters to buy today, and I'm not even advertising for Airbus, it's simply because of the aircraft's characteristics.
this is the helicopter twin turbine often used by the player Neymar, who surely everyone knows in Brazil. ed with the athlete's initials, PP-NJR, this ACH145 belongs to one of Neymar's companies.
The ACH145 is always present when the player travels around Brazil, in addition to assisting Neymar's family . The helicopter costs approx. BRL 50 million, and was acquired new in 2019 by the player, and delivered in the same year.
Executive aircraft manufacturers also cater to the customizations of each customer, and the black leather seats have the Batman symbol, a detail ordered at the player's request. The details go to the tail, with the initials of the name Neymar Junior just above the rotor.

The ACH145 can carry up to 10 people inside, including the two pilots, and the crew can be made up of just one person, expanding the enger capacity to nine.
The interior can also be equipped with two small refrigerators for transporting drinks and food during a flight, necessary for the luxury category and the range of the helicopter, which has three fuel tanks and can fly more than 650 km nonstop for refueling. .
The ACH145 also has the most modern Airbus avionics , the Helionix. Its luggage area includes several accessories for the transport of sports equipment, such as fastening points, seat covers and floor protection. It is possible to configure the cabin composition and the luggage compartment quickly, as all the seats are fixed on rails and can be easily rearranged.
Neymar is currently in Brazil to train with the Brazilian national football team. And this last Friday (25) the player returned to use his helicopter, taking off from Jacarepaguá Airport (RJ) together with his friends.
The destination of the PP-NJR flight was Granja Comary, where the national team undergoes training before official competitions. Some of Neymar's friends were also present on the flight.
See below for a recent video that we recorded with the ACH145, already equipped with the new five-blade configuration, which increases the helicopter's performance:
Launched in 2019, the five-blade version increases the helicopter's payload by 150 kg. In addition, the simplicity of the new bearingless main rotor design also facilitates maintenance operations, which further enhances the operability and reliability of the ACH145 and increases comfort for engers and crew, completely eliminating the vibrations inherent to helicopter flight. .
Neymar's helicopter is not yet equipped with the update, but it may in the future be retrofitted by Airbus. Aircraft on the 2022 production line are already configured with the upgrades.
