USA - Lafayette plant

Expanding the footprint in North America

The brand new Kopter facility in Lafayette, Louisiana, has been announced at Heli-Expo, Atlanta,

GA on March 5th 2019.

The Government of Louisiana and Kopter established a synergic collaboration that allows the

sustainment of the local economy on one side and the presence in one of the most important global

markets, and strategically close to large helicopter operators.

The same synergic approach with local authorities is the business model to expand Kopter global

presence.





AW09 Program development update


Prototype aircrafts

Overview



Prototype aircrafts

P1 P2 P3 PS4/PS5

P1 – Prototype aircraft – First flight October 2nd 2014

Proof of concept

P2 – Prototype aircraft – First flight February 26th 2016

Opening low speed envelope, exploring low speed handling qualities, preliminary load survey

Total >70 FH, 250 H RTT, > 2500 H Test bench time now to be converted into Tied-Down Helicopter

for compliance demonstration for TC

P3 – Prototype aircraft – First flight November 22nd 2018 Opening of the full SH09 flight envelope, performance and handling qualities,

Engine FADEC SW development

PS4/PS5 - Pre-series aircrafts Incorporation of the serial helicopter configuration

Fully instrumented for Cold trials in Alaska (winter 2019/2020) and Hot and High trials in Colorado (Summer 2020)

Aircraft also dedicated to VFR night and optional equipment testing (search light, bear paws etc)

S6 – First series aircraft Functional and reliability flights

EMC/EMI final test



P3 – Prototype aircraft

Flight testing – General plan

Mollis (Switzerland)

• Ground runs clamped and unclamped

• First flight

• Shakedown incl. initial envelope expansion

Transfer of aircraft

Pozallo (Sicily - Italy)

• Flight tests• Flight envelope expansion

• Full mass and CG envelope determination

• Assessment of flight control system

HB-ZXC

P3 – Prototype aircraft

Pozzallo (Sicily - Italy)

• Good weather conditions during the entire year

(also in autumn and winter)

• Salty, foggy, windy, humidity environment to already

verify during flight test campaign for TC the design

against corrosion and harshest operational situations

• Low air traffic guarantees usage of Pozzallo airport for

extensive flight testing.

Expected loss of flight test days due to weather: < 5%
