The „light“ aviation is gaining momentum worldwide. And our turbine engines are part of this process.
"With new materials, new engines and lightweigh but state of the art avionics, the light aircraft offer comfort and performance previously only associated with heavier general aviation aircraft.
Italian company Curti Aerospace has been busy creating a very special little helicopter combining ‘Made in Italy’ style with a new standard in safety and performance. Designed by the (retired) Chief Product Engineer of the AW109, the Curti Zefhir combines beautiful external design (made by three designers from Bugatti team) with powerfull and reliable PBS TS100 turboshaft engine.
The result is an elegant, meticulously designed turbine helicopter with a maximum take-off weight of 600kg (1,322lb), which places the helicopter (where permitted by legislation) in the ultralight category.
After flight test made by UK´s Flyer Magazine, czech aviation magazine Flying Revue followed the suit and introduced the helicopter with our PBS TS100 engine to its Czech readership."
