Purpose: the highest standard!

Purpose: the highest standard!

In 2012, the goal was defined: “to offer two-seats personal helicopter of the highest standard”. Key: "the highest standard". What is the meaning we put into this concept? "The highest standard" consists of a one-time combination of all the parameters below:

  • safe, certified
  • high-speed, nimble
  • reliable, high resource
  • not expensive to buy, not expensive to maintain
  • comfortable inside, very prestigious
  • easy to fly
  • able to set the records

Current achievements

  • designed OSA helicopter
  • was built two helicopters for tests
  • were made static tests of two helicopters
  • were conducted flight tests of two helicopters
  • OSA helicopter was officcially patented
  • 1000+ hours flying time, operating in all weather conditions, flying for two years in a row
  • real crash tests
  • real landings with imitation of system failures
  • OSA helicopter serial production factory is already running
Current achievements
video helicopter Vibston Aero сompany
  • 236 km/h (147 mph) speed
  • 6 m/s (1180 fpm) autorotation speed
  • proven resources of units and mechanisms: 1000+ hours
  • positive static test results
  • positive crash test results
  • registration and airworthiness

Currently we are working on:

weight loss program: up to < 400 kg (< 881 lb); the ultralight class will simplify the procedure for obtaining airworthiness

improved ergonomics (two integrated luggage compartments)

improving the efficiency of the tail rotor
