Small but noteworthy helicopter equipment manufacturers found a suitable showcase for their products at Helitech 2007 in Duxford, England, early last month. Big OEMs Agusta-Westland, Bell, Enstrom, Eurocopter, MD Helicopters, Robinson and Sikor- sky (along with accompanying subsidiary Schweizer) were either present or represented, and they had sales to announce. Nevertheless, the event left smaller firms plenty of room to emerge and highlight their products.

Eurocopter logged several orders during the event. Era Helicopters at Helitech 2007 signed a contract for four EC 225s, to operate in the Gulf of Mexico. The Louisiana-based offshore oil operator now has eight of the 24,000-pound twins on order.
