For Today’s Global Elite, A New Generation Of Super-luxe Helicopters Is Providing Ultimate Comfort, Convenience And Style.
It’s also perhaps little surprise that major manufacturers are jostling to cash in on the high-end market, rolling out models for the ultra-rich. Indeed, Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo, Bell Helicopter, and Sikorsky are all developing new machines for the wealthy buyer, with price tags topping US$24 million.
Speed, safety & conversation
Becker Helicopters CEO Jan Becker says today’s luxury helicopters possess what they lacked in the past – speed and silence. “There’s no point getting some bus,” Captain Becker, founder of the A$20 million (US$14.4 million) Australian helicopter consultancy business, tells The CEO Magazine.
“Buyers want speed, and noise is also a big issue. The new type of blades coming out are about noise abatement – they really do reduce sound. They’re not just geared to the military now; manufacturers are looking at what the corporate market wants.”
Extra focus on the luxury market also means more safety features, Becker says.
She points, for example, to “single-engine fly-away capability”, which refers to the ability of new crafts to operate with one engine out of action.
