H155 (EC155 B1)  – 324km/h The H155 (formerly EC155 B1) helicopter from Airbus Helicopters has a maximum speed (VNE) of 324km/h and can fly at a fast cruise speed of 278km/h at an altitude of at 6,000ft. Efficient lift and the high top speed are attributed to its high efficiency profile. The four-axis auto pilot featured in the helicopter enables superior hover performance in extreme conditions. The helicopter features a high set main rotor and a shrouded tail rotor, which ensure safe operations even on small and busy decks. It is ideal for VIP and corporate transportation, long-haul offshore and inter-rig shuttle transit, emergency medical services (EMS), search and rescue (SAR), and parapublic missions.

Development history of Honda Civic 1972- 1979 After a period of developing idiosyncratic automobiles such as the lukewarmly received domestic  Honda 1300 , Honda considered pulling out of automobile manufacturing altogether by the early 1970s. However, the more conventional Civic's release in 1972 immediately changed things, thanks to its economy, reliability and low cost in an era of rising fuel prices. Honda's  CVCC  technology helped it make it affordable, meeting 1970s and early 1980s emission standards without an expensive  catalytic converter . First generation (1972–1979) The first generation Honda Civic was introduced on 11 July 1972, but sold as a 1973 model in Japan Second generation (1979–1983) The second generation Honda Civic was introduced in June 1979 as a 1980 model.  Third generation (1983–1987) The third generation was released in September 1983 for the 1984 model year.
