ALTHOUGH RECENTLY ESTABLISHED, SKT HELICOPTERS IS A COMPANY BACKED TO SEVERAL YEARS HISTORY. THE PEOPLE WHO FOUNDED SKT HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS IN THE FIELD OF HELICOPTER ENGINEERING, DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING AND HAVE NOW DECIDED TO USE THEIR EXPERTISE TO SET UP A COMPANY PROVIDING THIS SKILLED EXPERIENCE TO THE HELICOPTER INDUSTRY. LEGACY By leveraging several decades of aeronautical experience, SKT s team has refined light helicopter technology to unmatched levels of simplicity, safety and performance. State of the art technologies, harmoniously combined in a novel architecture bring a breakthrough in light helicopter operation and cheaper operating cost. The SKT organization is headquartered in Stabio - Switzerland, while the test flights of each helicopter take place a short distance away at Ambrì Airport and in Lomazzo, near lake Como - Italy. Experienced test pilots with thousands of hours of flying, perform accurate tests on the helicopters, prior to delivery to Customers. SWISS MADE The production facility is located in Stabio - Switzerland. Highly specialized technicians assemble the helicopters with parts manufactured by companies of their divisions, which are all a part of the SKT Helicopter group. Everything except the engines are made in house at SKT. Final Assembly is made under thorough Controlled System. ITALIAN POWER The MW engine incorporates the latest in modern aviation technology and is produced based on the electronic management functions and specific performance needs of the SKT Helicopter. The engine in version helicopter, has been developed by the manufacturer, using the advice and experience of SKT technicians. Hours of test led to a very positive result on safety in flight.
SWISS PRECISION, ITALIAN DESIGN. CUSTOMER DESIGNED, AGILE AT THE LOWEST OPERATING COST ON THE MARKET. HISTORY A group of experts in the field of helicopter aviation, decided to produce a two-seat helicopter fitting with their most severe desires. They wanted to introduce in the market, a new light helicopter different from some of the famed ones but now out-dated. Everyone within the group brought a large quantity of experience and the desire to produce the best in design, as well technology. The pilots brought their own precise ideas about how the new helicopter should perform: simple and fluid in flying, solid and durable, with advanced air penetration, but not only a racer. They wanted a perfect heli for recreation, but also with applications in reconnaissance, fire control, instruction, and aerial photo-shots The technicians brought new ideas to eliminate some problems plaguing the previous helicopter generation which continue to be a sore point in aviation. For example: the rotor drive belts. There were also innovative ideas on how to improve the collective and cyclic movements and their respective controls. At the same time, the engineers desired a fast, powerful aircraft, but with low fuel consumption while using high octane automotive gas instead of AvGas. And for better flying conditions, the rotor system incorporates a three blade system with specific characteristics. The person responsible for this delicate area, was a technician/engineer and at the same time, a true artist who has shaped and made the blades. He has achieved the best results by giving a hook in the sky blade that makes this helicopter unique. The designers created a new shape that could be only be made through very specific techniques using composites, carbon fiber and wind tunnels.
