Savback Helicopters & GHT close to ‘unveiling’ evolved ultra light helicopter

Sweden’s Savback Helicopters & Italy’s GHT are working together on a unique product that will excite the worlds of ultralight aircraft ownership & flying training. The family-owned companies are re-imagining the concept of the ultralight helicopter, taking automotive styling cues from the best Italy has to offer & combining them with Savback’s decades of rotary-wing experience.

Evolving out of an existing GHT line, the new aircraft echoes automotive trends with its streamlined bodywork & luxurious cabin finish, including leather from Ferrari’s own supplier. The result is a turbine-engine, go-anywhere flying machine featuring the latest avionics & wrapped in a striking, compact, high-performance package.

Equipped with full-authority digital engine control (FADEC), a system unique in its class, the new ultralight delivers turboshaft efficiency & reliability alongside performance including speed in excess of 100 knots (185km/h) & a 255 nautical mile (472km) range. Competitively priced among high-end, turbine-engine ultralight helicopters, the aircraft will be available to buy soon.

In the mould of the world’s most desirable sports cars, the helicopter’s two seats provide all the space a pilot & passenger need to explore freedom, with performance enough to leave the road behind & the reassurance of having advanced safety, communications & aircraft monitoring technology on board.

The aircraft represents a desirable step-up for owner pilots, & a tempting entry point to helicopter operations. Its owners will likely have a passion for fine products. They’ll appreciate the fusion of craftsmanship with sound engineering & travel not so much to arrive, as for the journey & the places they visit along the way.

Forthcoming additional safety enhancements will further elevate this new ultralight into a class of its own, increasing its desirability for private operators & creating an even more convincing case for flying training. It promises to make the best journeys better & take owners places they’ve already been, in ways they never imagined.

Thanks to Savback & GHT it is time to rise above & discover the freedom of flight, in a helicopter worth learning to fly for.

‘Thanks to the collaboration with the Savback Helicopter Team, this new model has changed its Look & Design. Modifications have been made to the fuselage before, obtaining excellent visual & aerodynamic results, given the results obtained both in the wind tunnel & in flight tests. Changes have also been made to the interior design using the highest quality finishes, to create a very elegant & efficient cockpit.’ GHT Founder & owner Grillo Claudio

‘The new model is a step-forward for next generation, easy & quick, personal & private mobility helicopters, our re-imagined vision will provide a next-generation experience that brings freedom of movement, security, low cost, high reliability & low consumption rate’.

Using the latest mechanical & avionics technologies, combined with the experience of proven & talented aeronautical designers, engineers & craftsmen, GHT has delivered the next-generation ultra-light helicopters. Savback is proud & enthusiastic to be able to share this new technology with the world. Michael Savbäck, Founder & Head of Sales, Savback Helicopters AB.
