Guimbal Hélicoptères has plans to take on the ubiquitous R22 in the training market. The company, launched by a former Eurocopter employee, has made headway, having secured orders from several European companies, including Eurocopter.

The Cabri has been designed for three types of mission–training, aerial work and private transportation. It received a CS-27 certificate from the EASA last December. The helicopter is powered by a 145-hp Lycoming O-360 engine, equipped with in-house digital ignition control and “silent” exhaust.
