MD Helicopters, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of commercial, military, law enforcement and air-rescue helicopters. This legendary company traces its roots back more than 60 years to iconic American businessman, innovator and aviator Howard Hughes when the Hughes Tool Company, Aircraft Division first started to develop “light helicopters” in 1955.

Today, the MDHI family of rotorcraft is world renowned for its value, versatility and performance, and includes the twin-engine MD 902 Explorer, and a fleet of segment-leading single-engine aircraft that include the MD 500E, MD 520N, MD 530F, MD 530F Cayuse Warrior, MD 530G and MD 600N. The innovative NOTAR® system for anti-torque control with no tail rotor – a key feature of the MD 902, MD 600N and MD 520N – is used exclusively by MD Helicopters to provide safer, quieter performance and confined-area access capability.

The Story

Purchased by Lynn Tilton in 2005, MD Helicopters has enjoyed a successful turnaround. Driven by a revitalized commitment to American Manufacturing, MD Helicopters is building a future that is as industry-leading as our fabled past; leaning forward to continue Howard Hughes’ legacy of disruption and cutting-edge design. We are committed to develop and integrate next generation manufacturing processes and technologies, and to deliver aircraft unmatched in their elegance, performance and reliability.

The NOTAR® (No Tail Rotor Technology System) anti-torque system, exclusive to MD Helicopters, eliminates all of the mechanical disadvantages of a tail rotor, including long drive shafts, hanger bearings, intermediate gearboxes and ninety-degree gearboxes. Using the natural characteristics of helicopter aerodynamics, the NOTAR® system provides safe, quiet, responsive, FOD-resistant directional control.
