Bell 47 series
Design of the Bell 47 began in the 1930s, but a decade passed before a prototype was completed in 1945. In 1946, the Bell 47 became the first helicopter to be approved for civilian use. By the time production stopped in 1973, over 6,000 Bell 47s in several different models had been produced. Bell 47s are still used throughought the world, and are especially popular for training helicopter pilots.
Bell 206 Series
The 206B-3 JetRanger III offers the lowest operating costs and the highest possible standards. Known around the world for its ruggedness, reliability and simplicity, this aircraft has become the most popular turbine helicopter ever built. First in its class in safety, this aircraft ensures its crew will be back to fly another day.
Eurocopter EC120
This extremely versatile, light 5-seat single engine EC120 is a multipurpose helicopter designed to provide its users with mission flexibility. Equipped with the most modern technologies such as the Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD), the new generation fenestron, crashworthy seats and fuel system.
The EC120 is a safe, quiet and comfortable aircraft. With very low operating costs and outstanding performance, it is the most efficient aircraft in its class.
Robinson R22 - Beta
Superior performance, outstanding reliability, and exceptional value have made the two-seat R22 the world's most popular entry-level helicopter for nearly two decades. More than 3,600 R22 helicopters have been delivered to more than 60 countries around the globe. The R22 holds major performance records in its weight class including speed and distance. And the latest R22 Beta II is still sensibly priced with the industry's lowest cost of operation.

Schweizer 300 Series
The Hughes/Schweizer 300 is the most successful three seat helicopter built, with over 3400 produced by the two manufacturers over three decades
Development of this versatile utility helicopter dates back to the mid 1950s when Hughes flew the two seat Model 269 for the first time in October 1956. The basic design sparked US Army interest and it ordered five as the YHO2HU for evaluation in the scout and observation roles. Deliveries of the commercial equivalent Model 269A began in 1961.
The 269A program received a huge boost when Hughes won a US Army contract for a light helicopter primary trainer. In all 792 were built as the TH55A Osage and more than 60,000 US Army helicopter pilots learnt to fly in the type.
Hughes followed the two seat 269A with the slightly larger three seat 269B, which it marketed as the Hughes 300, which first flew in 1964. The 300 was followed from 1969 by the improved 300C, which introduced a more powerful 140kW (190hp) Lycoming HIO360 engine and increased diameter main rotor, giving an increase in payload of 45%, plus performance improvements. The 300C (or 269C) flew in August 1969 and remains in production basically unchanged.
Since 1983 the 300C has been built by Schweizer in the USA. Schweizer built the 300C initially under licence for Hughes, and then acquired all rights to the helicopter in 1986. Under Schweizer's stewardship more than 250 minor improvements have been made to the 300C, but the basic design has been left unchanged. Schweizer also offers a version optimised for police work. Named the Sky Knight it is available with options such as a search light and infrared sensors. The latest 300 model is the 300CB trainer powered by a HO360C1A and delivered from late 1995.
MD 500
The MD 500E® helicopter delivers the highest speed, payload and productivity in its class. Rear seat passengers have greater headroom and visibility than earlier Model 500s. Refinements provide first class front and rear seating with ample legroom. The T-shaped instrument panel provides place for a full complement of modern avionics.
With a five-bladed mail rotor and the choice of a 420-shp Allison 250- C20B or 450-shp Allison 250-C20R turbine engine, the MD 500E is the best performing helicopter in its class.
Proven reliability of the derated turbine engine, fail-safe design and a worldwide network of factory-authorized service centers assure customer satisfaction.
AS350
Meet the Eurocopter single-engine, 6-7 place AS350 series. Helicopters so well configured they practically know what you need to accomplish before you do. The 350’s maneuverability, superior visibility with all seats facing forward and low vibration level, mean your mission will be as comfortable as it is productive. The cost effective, popular AS350B2 powered with a 732 shp Turbomeca Arriel 1D1 engine is a true multi mission workhorse known for its outstanding performance. The hot and high AS350B3 version powered with a FADEC equipped 847 shp Turbomeca Arriel 2B engine offers operators the highest performance in its category with enhanced safety and reduced pilot workload utilizing a VEMD multifunction cockpit display. With high performance, ease of flight, and sling capacity of more than 2555lbs for the B2 or 3085lbs for the B3, the AS350 is the most user friendly helicopter in its class.
