Amsterdam, Netherlands – October 30, 2024 – Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC), the world’s leading manufacturer of civil helicopters, will exhibit at European Rotors in Amsterdam from November 4-7, 2024. This marks the company’s inaugural participation at the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) show and safety conference.

Attendees can visit booth #5029 to connect with Robinson Helicopter and its subsidiary, Ascent AeroSystems, a leading manufacturer of compact, high-performance, coaxial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) drone systems. Courtesy of Sloane Helicopters and Heli-Flight Germany, an R44 Raven II and R66 will be on display. The company will also showcase its improved symmetric horizontal stabilizer that is in the validation process with EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. The development and testing of the new empennage design spanned several years, resulting in enhanced handling characteristics during high-speed flight.

On day one of the conference, President and CEO David Smith will speak alongside Mikael Cardinal from Unither Bioelectronics at the Best Practice: Sustainability presentation to discuss the future of propulsion in vertical lift and the two companies’ agreement to develop hydrogen-powered helicopters. On day three, Smith will be joined by Tim Landau of Heli-Flight at the Best Practice: Operations II presentation to speak on the challenges faced in pipeline patrol aviation.

“The European market is vital to Robinson Helicopter’s continued growth. By participating in events like Rotors 2024, we strengthen our relationships with our dealers, service centers, and customers,” said David Smith, President and CEO of Robinson Helicopter Company. “This event allows us to share industry insights, showcase our latest product improvements like the symmetrical horizontal stabilizer, and collaborate on future projects.
