For us, it's a game changer. Aerial Solutions was the first to put the Super D20B into commercial service, and after seeing the results, the data points one way: convert the whole fleet. Safety gains. Efficiency gains. Cost savings. In the words of Aerial Solutions Cleve Cox: "It's a no-brainer."

Today, we remember those who gave everything for our country. We pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage and legacy will never be forgotten. In observance of Memorial Day, MD Helicopters will be closed on Monday. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, May 27th. 🇺🇸 Remember and Honor.

MD Helicopters has renewed our Aviation Support Program Services (ASPS) contract with the Saudi Arabia Ministry of National Guard, continuing decades of partnership supporting their fleet of 12 MD 530F training helicopters. This multi-year Foreign Military Sales agreement does more than extend our direct sustainment role. It expands OEM-backed support across the region and creates a proven FMS pathway for other allied operators of MD platforms worldwide. As the OEM, we bring the engineering authority, technical data, and platform knowledge that keeps these aircraft mission-ready. But what really matters is the people behind the aircraft. Our engineers, program managers, and field service representatives work side by side with operators and maintainers every day, because that's what real partnership looks like.

Real performance. Real savings. The Super D20B upgrade is delivering up to ~20% lower fuel burn for MD 500D operators, dropping consumption from roughly 35 to 28 gallons per hour. Why? Larger main and tail rotor discs reduce disc loading, so each blade does less work. The aircraft produces the same lift with less induced drag, and the engine burns less fuel per hour. What that means for your operation: -Extended endurance (over 2 hours 12 minutes standard, more than 3 hours 17 minutes with a 30-gallon aux tank) -Up to ~4,200 gallons saved annually at 600 flight hours per year -Up to ~$29,400 in annual fuel savings at $7/gal Same mission. Less fuel. More time on station. Learn more about the Super D20B upgrade: https://lnkd.in/gszvgwYW Or send us an email at: upgrades@mdhelicopters.com

What if you could have a brand new E or Super E model aircraft for under $3 million? With MD Helicopters' Bring Your Own Engine (BYOE) program, that's now a reality. The C20B engine is abundantly available, on a shelf, in a fleet, or part of a trade. The airframe is the gap. BYOE closes it. Operators get everything the 500E and Super E are known for: - Fuel economy of an E model with the performance of a 530F on Super E platforms - Rugged, crashworthy, energy-absorbing airframe design - Modern slimline cockpit and OEM systems - Full OEM support direct from MD Helicopters, including a full airframe warranty This program is built for operators who already have a qualified engine and want to put it to work. It's a solution no other OEM offers. Bring the engine. We'll build the rest. Questions? Email upgrades@mdhelicopters.com. #MDHelicopters #BYOE #FFU #Aviation #Helicopter #Aerospace
