This announcement follows the 2025 approval of Enstrom's crash resistant fuel system, which was the final hurdle restricting sales. The new model is designed to minimise the risk of post-impact fuel fires during crashes.
Enstrom completed a seamless transition in leadership, with former COO Adam Richardson assuming the role of president and CEO of Enstrom. Former president Todd Tetzlaff remains an integral part of the core setup.
Full FAA certification for its crash resistant fuel system on the 480B turbine-powered helicopter enables Enstrom to resume sales of newly produced 480B helicopters to the global market.
