The Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm Bo 105 is a light, twin-engine, multi-purpose helicopter developed by Bölkow of Ottobrunn, Germany. It holds the distinction of being the first light twin-engine helicopter in the world, and is the first rotorcraft that could perform aerobatic maneuvers, such as inverted loops. The Bo 105 features a revolutionary hingeless rotor system, at that time a pioneering innovation in helicopters when it was introduced into service in 1970. Production of the Bo 105 began at the then-recently merged Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm

The Bolkow Bo-105 is a light, twin-engine, multi-purpose helicopter that was developed by the German company Bölkow in the 1960s. It was the first helicopter of its kind to feature a hingeless rotor system, which allowed it to perform aerobatic maneuvers such as inverted loops and rolls. The Bo-105 also had a spacious cabin that could accommodate various missions, such as air rescue, law enforcement, offshore transport, and anti-tank warfare. The Bo-105 was produced by several manufacturers, including MBB, Eurocopter, CASA, IPTN, and NAMC, and was operated by many countries around the world. The Bo-105 was retired from production in 2001 and was replaced by the Eurocopter EC135.
