Airbus Helicopters is the helicopter manufacturing division of Airbus SE, a European multinational aerospace corporation. Headquartered in Marignane, near Marseille, France, the division was formerly known as Eurocopter and adopted the Airbus Helicopters name in 2014. The company traces its origins to the merger of the helicopter divisions of Aerospatiale (France) and Daimler-Benz Aerospace (Germany) in 1992.
