OEM Action 2015


MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) is focused on


two projects for 2015. The fi rst is an enhanced fl ight deck for the company’s twin-engine 902/ Explorer civil aircraft, which MDHI is developing with Universal Avionics. The second project is promoting the company’s fl eet of armed customizable single-engine helicopters, which are being off ered on a quick delivery basis to military/defense customers. “Our partnership with Universal Avionics in the development of the Next Generation fl ight deck is a standout because it brings together two undisputed industry leaders to deliver the most sophisticated avionics suite in the most reliable, safest-to-operate


light-twin on the market,”


said MDHI CEO Lynn Tilton. The 902/Explorer series with the UA fl ight deck can be custom- confi gured for VIP transport, EMS/rescue or law enforcement missions.


On the military side, MDHI’s armed MD 530F Cayuse Warrior, MD 530G and MD 540A Scout Attack helicopters off er capability combined with relatively quick availability. “In many cases, waiting 18-24 months or more for armed helicopters puts soldiers and democracies at unnecessary risk,” Tilton said. “With our armed MD 530F Cayuse Warrior, for example, we will deliver a close air combat-capable aircraft that also provides training, scout, escort, and ISR capabilities in less than six months.” The MD 530G and MD 540A will follow within the year to deliver increases in useful load, endurance, and lethality as well as advanced avionics and navigation technologies.
