UAE firm studies civil twins for next armed helo
Citat:NorthStar Aviation launched operations in 2011 to deliver lightly modified Bell 407 trainers to the UAE military.
The company expanded to convert the commercial Bell 407GX with a Garmin G1000 cockpit system into an armed helicopter, capable of surveillance and light attack missions. The last of 30 NorthStar 407MRH aircraft will be delivered to the UAE military in the first quarter of 2017, says David Williams, NorthStar’s design engineer.
Now the company is evaluating several twin-engined types, including US and European-built helicopters, for similar conversion into armed aircraft, he says.
