Trips in private helicopters have become one of the favorite options for the elite of big cities to move from one point to another. This makes the market for aircraft of this style constantly boiling and growing.
What the people who use the helicopter as a means of transport are looking for is comfort, speed in displacement and exclusivity. For this reason, some of the most famous helicopter design and manufacturing companies are making a very special commitment to offer a range of great luxury and thus satisfy the needs of the most important customers.
The news in private helicopters
Private planes or jets are completely compatible with luxury helicopters, since their functions are very different. The jet is used to move between cities and even make long trips. But the helicopter is ideal for short journeys, generally within the same city or to move between nearby cities.
The significant growth that large cities are experiencing has enabled the private helicopter sector to evolve in this way.
Companies like Airbus have created a specific division for their luxury helicopters, it is Airbus Corporate Helicopters, which includes models in which exclusivity is the key. In addition, to get the world elite to notice its products, the company has partnered with luxury brands such as Hermès, which offer interior design of the highest quality and elegance.
The Italian company Leonardo, however, is preparing its AW609 helicopter model, which is already proposed as a unique means of transportation, combining the main characteristics of luxury aircraft with private helicopters. In addition, Leonardo has joined forces with luxury brands, such as the Italian Versace or the well-known designer Karl Lagerfeld.
The VIPs who purchase these private helicopters are not only looking for design and aesthetic exclusivity, but also want to see functional improvements. The noise level, comfort and spaciousness are usually important when choosing one option or another.
It is worth mentioning that the Bell Helicopter company has also launched an important innovation in the sector. It is about the creation of the first helicopter with Fly by wire technology. This technology allows the ship to be controlled from electronic systems and not mechanical, as was the case until now.
