Ixair anticipates first Cabri delivery for heli-school

French-based operator Ixair (Booth No. 1088) will soon be the first to fly the Cabri, a new light piston helicopter produced by startup company Guimbal Hélicoptères. The first of a firm order for 10 helicopters should be delivered before this summer. The event was initially pegged for March but a longer-than-expected production start phase has delayed it.

“We have no doubt Guimbal will be successful eventually,” Ixair commercial director Mathias Senes told EBACE Convention News. The new twin-seater was certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency in December and has several safety features such as a high level of crashworthiness, a shrouded tail rotor and a high-maneuverability composite main rotor.
