Neymar, a famous football player from Brazil, loves expensive cars. He has one of the world’s most amazing collections of supercars. He’s interested in more than just cars, though. Neymar bought a Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 personal helicopter in 2019 for about $13.7 million USD.
The helicopter is painted black, inspired by Batman, which is Neymarβs favorite superhero.
There are two engines in the Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145, which came out in 2015. It’s a partnership between the well-known Airbus Helicopters and the German car company Mercedes-Benz.
The helicopter has two Turbomeca Arriel 2E engines that can each turn out 900 horsepower. The max speed is 240 km/h, and the dry weight is 2,449 kg. It has a range of 640 km.
The H-145 can take up to 8 people, 2 pilots, and some luggage. Its maximum payload is 3,700 kg. It is 11.69 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 4 meters high (without the engines), which makes it a good choice among personal helicopters. Three big screens in the cabin run the Helionix electronics, which give the pilot all the information they need and help them in any situation.
Along with automatic takeoff, the Mercedes-Benz Airbus H-145 has the most modern 4-axis autopilot system, which helps keep the plane stable at high altitude. Mercedes-Benz designed the passenger area, which has a high-quality leather interior, a better video system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Neymar’s personal chopper is in Brazil, and the football star often takes it to get to the national team fields for practice. The shiny black paint on the whole helicopter is meant to look like Batman, which is a character that Neymar really likes. NJR, which stands for Neymar Jr., is written on the tail of the chopper.
The helicopter cost 10 million pounds, which is about 13 million USD. It was more expensive than the villa behind it, which only cost 7 million pounds. Neymar’s private helicopter is a sign of how successful, wealthy, and lavish his life is.
