Turbolyft announces new ‘Y-Series’ completion line-up

Turbolyft, a provider of parts and support for Airbus Helicopters, has strategically partnered with equipment manufacturers to modernize special missions packages for aerial law enforcement, aerial firefighting, medevac and search and rescue (SAR), and utility operations.

“The Y-Series is made up of five categories,” said Brandon Lowe, Director of Sales and Marketing at Turbolyft. “The Y-Fighter for aerial firefighting, the Y-Enforcer for aerial law enforcement, the Y-Savior for medevac and SAR, and the Y-Lifter for aerial utility operations. The fifth package is the Y-Custom for those looking to have a ‘built from scratch’ style multi-mission configuration.”

Turbolyft’s strategic partnerships with companies like Digital AirWare, Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment, Voxelis Canada, SR3 Rescue Concepts and Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing (AEM) aim to elevate helicopter completions with modern approaches and future technologies for all special mission profiles. The Y-Series will debut with the AS350/H125 before rolling out to the Airbus H135 and H145, Bell 429, 505, 407 and older OH-58, as well as the Leonardo AW09.

The Y-Series packages will offer optional equipment such as a Helitak Fire Tank, AEM digital audio and radio systems and Onboard Systems hoist and hook packages, but standard offerings across all configurations will include the Voxelis VoxVision artificial intelligence (AI) system, Digital AirWare subscription, Turbolyft STC and mods suite, and an SR3 Rescue Concepts training package.

Turbolyft will be unveiling its AS350Y Series completions at the upcoming Verticon show in Dallas, Texas, on 10–13 March 2025. Four configurations will be displayed through an augmented reality, static aircraft experience.

Airbus and US Coast Guard recently signed a support agreement for the service’s MH-65 fleet.
