Enstrom Helicopter is introducing the 480B Signature and 480B Elite. The Elite includes all the top-of-the-line features Enstrom has to offer, including exclusive paint and interior styles, while the Signature will become the new baseline for what Enstrom will market to owner operators, with optional upgrades available.

The 480B Elite includes Enstrom’s all-glass digital instrument panel, Garmin G500H avionics, GTN750/GTN650/digital audio radios, ADSB In/Out surveillance, Genesys autopilot and air conditioning. Airbrush artist Dean Loucks has designed exclusive paint schemes, and advanced interior trim and colour packages will be included to match the designer paint jobs.

“This is the option for personal owners who want all the accoutrements,” says Charles Wade, senior vice president of product, sales and customer excellence. “These are the pilots who enjoy the attention, whose desire is to show up in style wherever they travel, whether that be in their car, boat, coach or airplane.”

The 480B Signature includes comparable features for engine indication, avionics, radios and surveillance. Other features, like autopilot and air conditioning, may be added for an additional cost.

The standard 480B will remain a legacy product for customers who just want the basics, or who prefer analogue engine indication and avionics systems.

Q3 delivery dates are available, with EASA and TCCA deliveries anticipated by Q1 2026.
