SH09 helicopter final design at HAI Heli-Expo 2020
After extensive testing, Swiss helicopter manufacturer Kopter has announced that it has now frozen the design of its new SH09 airframe; the final lines and features of the Pre-Series 4 version will be on display at HAI Heli-Expo.
Kopter’s Heli-Expo display will consist of a full-scale mock-up of the helicopter in its seven-seat
transport configuration featuring a modular layout, which has been designed and manufactured in cooperation with Metro Aviation, based in Shreveport, Louisiana. Metro Aviation and Kopter have collaborated on various interior designs over the past two years.
As the final helicopter configuration approaches, contracts are being signed with several operators to acquire the newest single engine helicopter.
At Heli-Expo, Kopter will update the industry on the progress made with VRM Switzerland to offer training solutions to its customers worldwide. Pilots will be able to experience flying the SH09 in a high-resolution virtual reality system, using the dynamic six degree-of-freedom (6 DOF) motion platform.
