Marenco Swisshelicopter will bring its second flying SH09 prototype (P2) to Heli-Expo next month in Las Vegas, where it plans to announce new orders for its light single-turbine helicopter during the show and provide an update on the flight-test program. A follow-on aircraft (P3) is currently undergoing preparations before continuation of the flight-test program. This helicopter and pre-series aircraft PS04 will jointly serve to obtain EASA certification and soon thereafter FAA validation, the company said. Deliveries of the SH09 are expected to begin next year.
