Schweizer Aircraft (Booth No.

Schweizer Aircraft (Booth No. 2040) yesterday unveiled the Sikorsky Schweizer 434, the company’s first new product since Sikorsky purchased the New York-based OEM in 2004. The Model 434 is a single-turbine helicopter designed primarily for flight training, law enforcement and light utility missions.

Paul Schweizer, vice president of Schweizer Aircraft, said the company retained the basic structure of the Schweizer Model 333 light turbine in the design of the Model 434 but added a new four-blade rotor system (using advanced technologies developed for the Fire Scout vertical takeoff UAV) as well as more power and load capacity and a larger 84-gallon fuel tank.
