The video published by Leonardo shows the helicopter flying through the skies at the Kopter facilities in Mollis, Switzerland, during a 25-minute flight, completing all the planned test points.
The AW09, a lightweight single-engine helicopter developed by the Kopter Group, a Leonardo company, in collaboration with Safran and Garmin, is scheduled to enter the market in 2025.
This innovative aircraft is not just any helicopter; it embodies the future of aviation with its advanced flight tracking, data logging, and connectivity features, previously the domain of larger and more expensive equivalents.
