These tests prepare the prototype for FAA certification flight testing this summer at the company’s Philadelphia facility. The AW609 is capable of flying within an envelope that includes cruise conditions up to 275 knots, at an altitude of 25,000 feet in a pressurized cabin, for missions with ranges up to 1,000nm with available fuel options. This aircraft will mark a new era in civil aviation. Testing plans for the A/C3 also include icing trials in the winter of 2016 to demonstrate its capabilities in known icing conditions. These high standard design features allow the AW609 to perform a host of missions not previously achievable with any other commercial aircraft. Certification of the AW609 TiltRotor is expected in 2018, with customer deliveries to follow.

Helipaddy has partnered with what3words to promote accuracy of navigation and reduce the potential for errors by helicopter pilots. What3words has created a significantly simpler way of referencing anywhere on the surface of our planet. By dividing the surface of the earth into squares of 3m x 3m, and then giving each a unique set of three words, it is possible to precisely specify any location on the planet. The system has also opened up many opportunities in the developing world, particularly in allowing billions of the world's population to be heard by being able to exercise many of their rights as citizens because they previously had no way to communicate where they live. Bringing this revolutionary system to the helicopter industry creates new opportunities, particularly when flying to a previously unvisited location, and can address individual pads at a heliport with multiple landing spots.
The Bell Helicopter facility in Prague provides full maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities. It is the company’s official regional customization, delivery and aftermarket service center in Europe – complemented by Bell Helicopter’s extensive support and service network located throughout the region.
“With what3words, Helipaddy are solving what is quite a difficult problem, namely a scalable solution to storing, sharing and moderating precise landing information in an simple way. What3words is a natural solution for communicating locations.” said Paddy Wills of Helipaddy.
