Airwolf Aerospace has announced the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Air Support Division is installing Airwolf’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-approved (SR04637CH) True Blue Power TB17 advanced lithium-ion batteries for its new Airbus H125 helicopters.
The True Blue Power TB17 offers lower weight, powerful faster-cooler engine starts, an average eight-year life span, less maintenance, and excellent cold operating capabilities with its built-in heating system.
