AIRCRAFT OVERVIEW

“Eagle 407 HP operators are going to see a big difference, especially flying cargo high or hot, because of a 26 percent increase in shaft horsepower,” said Carl Esposito, vice president, Marketing & Product Management, Honeywell Aerospace. “The HTS900 fills the Bell transmission with power up to 14,500 feet.”

The new Eagle 407 HP, using design and engineering licensed from Bell Helicopter, will provide operators up to a 40 percent increase in Hover-Out-of-Ground-Effect (HOGE) performance at International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) +20°C conditions, while delivering a 10 percent reduction in fuel consumption. The increased altitude payload allows for full onboard mission equipment and fuel capacity, allowing mission completion without repeat flights.
