Enstrom Helicopters in China
With the recent sale of a 480B turbine single to Wuhan Helicopters, Enstrom has returned to the Chinese market.

With the recent sale of a 480B turbine single to Wuhan Helicopters, Enstrom has returned to the Chinese market. It was in the early 1990s that the Menominee, Mich.-based manufacturer first sold helicopters into China when Wuhan Helicopters imported some of the first civil certified helicopters–Enstrom 280FXs used by the Wuhan Police and Enstrom 480s for agricultural spraying. Wuhan still operates a rare turbine-powered TH-28 for agricultural spraying and other commercial work.

The 480B recently ordered by Wuhan Helicopters will also be fitted with spraying equipment (an Isolair system), as well as Garmin GPS and a Safe Flight powerline detection system.
