MD 520N Helicopter
The MD 520N by MD Helicopters features the exclusive NOTAR® anti-torque system. Using a variable pitch fan, circulation control slots, and a direct jet thruster, it replaces conventional tail rotors. This delivers significantly quieter operation and enhanced safety for crew in confined areas.

Its five-seat configuration provides flexibility for transporting passengers or cargo, while its maximum gross weight of 3,350 lbs makes it ideal for operations that demand quick and precise manoeuvres.
In addition to its performance advantages, the MD 520N is equipped with advanced avionics and safety features, including crash-resistant fuel systems and energy-absorbing landing gear. Its spacious cockpit offers excellent visibility, and it can be easily configured for various missions, from VIP transport to utility work.
