Description
It’s more than just flying in the cold. It’s about testing and verifying the performance of the helicopters under extreme conditions, including checking if the heating can actually clear a frozen windshield, monitoring 150kg of measuring equipment in real-time, and making sure the mechanics can still do their jobs in heavy winter kit.
We’ve seen temperatures drop below -30°C in Finland and -40°C in Scandinavia, providing the perfect backdrop to push the aircraft’s stability and handling qualities.
Hard work, but there’s no better team-building than operating a prototype in the Arctic and our H140 handled the conditions exactly as expected.
