History

Swiss single-engine helicopter, now continued by Leonardo as the AW09.

The helicopter covers important needs of the future! Beside best performance (e.g. 4400 lbs external payload at sea level resp. 3300 lbs at 10’000 ft) ecologic (e.g. ready for the use of possible alternative power units ) and safety relevant issues (e.g. emergency battery backup) are solved under the aspect of latest technical possibilities. “We are developing the most spacious helicopter and implement a multi-functional platform, something the industry has not yet seen,” says Martin Stucki, owner Marenco AG, inventor and developer SH09 helicopter project.

​

Currently, the project is in the conceptual and financing phase. In addition to looking for important feedback from the professional audience, we would also like to draw the attention of potential investors to our project. You can meet us at booth C1907 at HAI-HELI EXPO in Atlanta from March 7 – 9.
