Marenco Swisshelicopter AG is pleased to present at this year's HAI-Heli Expo the vision of a complete new development of helicopter family.
An innovative idea for a powerful, economical and safe helicopter, the development starts with a single engine helicopter. Based on that platform, the twin-engine helicopter will be developed as a further step.
The helicopter covers important needs of the future. Beside best performance (e.g. 4,400 lbs external payload at sea level resp. 3,300 lbs at 10'000 ft) environmental concerns (e.g. ready for the use of possible alternative power units) and safety relevant issues (e.g. emergency battery backup) are solved under the aspect of latest technical possibilities.
"We are developing the most spacious helicopter and implementing a multi-functional platform, something the industry has not yet seen," says Martin Stucki, owner Marenco AG, inventor and developer of the SH09 helicopter project.
Currently, the project is in the conceptual and financing phase. In addition to looking for important feedback from a professional audience, Stucki would also like to draw the attention of potential investors to the project.
Marenco has been in business since 1997 as a design and development engineering firm. From unthinkable ideas to market-dominating products is the credo. Among other things, Marenco offers development services for aviation, medical technology and mechanical and plant engineering. With its in-house production facility for prototypes, pilot and small series, Marenco is well acquainted with the challenges of manufacturing goods. Probably the most complex project that Marenco helped to develop was the new development and manufacture of the SH09 helicopter under the direction of company owner Martin Stucki.
