MD 902 Explorer
An
International helicopter industry advisor board guided the design
and development
of the MD Explorer with an objective to produce a
multipurpose twin-engine
helicopter that would set new standards in performance,
affordability,
dependability and safety.
The
MD Explorer was initially certified under FAA Part 27 in December
1994,
and is currently certified by the FAA and JAA for day /
night VFR and single
pilot IFR with full Category A design standards
to JAR-OPS 3 performance Class 1.
Powered by two Pratt and Whitney Canada PW207E engines, the
MD Explorer features
a fully articulated main rotor system, bearingless
composite flexbeams and rotor
hub. Anti-torque control is provided by the
patented NORTAR system that reduces
pilot workload and external noise levels, and
significantly improves
safety in confined areas and on offshore platforms.
The eight-place MD Explorer cabin is the
largest in the light twin class and is
accessed through two 52"sliding cabin doors and a large
baggage compartment.
Energy absorbing, stroking cabin seats
meet stringent FAP Part 27.562 requirements
up to 30g at 30 feet per second. The large cabin makes
the MD Explorer ideally suited
for rapid role change from an Offshore / Onshore
eight-place passenger transport to
Emergency Medical Services or Law Enforcement
missions. Large selections of optional
equipment have been fully qualified to meet
various operational requirements.
A heavy-duty cargo hook permits 3,000-pound external
load operations.
MD
Explorer safety and maintainability are enhanced by built-in HIRF
and
lightning strike protection, built-in maintenance steps and
platforms, and a
composite airframe that is resistant to corrosion and hostile
marine environment.
After
an intensive and lengthy review of all the current
aircraft being produced. Sky FlightCare chose to
invest in
the MD
Explorer as the aircraft to take us into the future.
