The final design of the seven-seat Kopter SH09 single-engine helicopter will be embodied in the PS4 version, which is expected to fly mid-year. A key feature of PS4 and the fifth flight test helicopter, PS5, is a gearbox from a new supplier.

Eastern Switzerland-based Kopter Group's Pre-Series 4 (PS4), expected to fly by mid-year, will incorporate the “representative” final design of the company's new, clean-sheet single-engine SH09 helicopter. Kopter (Booth 6845) is revealing the features of the design at Heli-Expo via a full-scale mockup in seven-passenger configuration with 3D animations for other mission packages.

Kopter’s HAI exhibit will also enable pilots to test the virtual reality (VR)-based training system in development by VRM.
