Marenco Swiss Helicopter
In latest issue or Rotor and Wing I have seen the ad, that catched my eyes.
A Swiss company intends develop a new SE helicopter. 5 blade rotor, fenestron, sleek design, impressive perf. Their website is at
Www.marenco-swisshelicopter.com
There is not so much info on their web, just couple of 3d models. Do you have more info about it? What are the people behind, funding, timeline?

I talked to one of their head guys at Heli Expo a fortnight ago and from what I gathered, the first test flight is scheduled for next year. The beauty of the cockpit design is the practical application for underslung load operations and that is an observation window between the pilot and co-pilot's seats.
My pic of the SKYe SH09 are here in the Heli Expo 2011 thread however I am putting on this thread here for you

Wow, what a brilliant machine! 8 passengers, 145 Kts, 3 hours endurance, all weather capability, Impressive hot and high performance and all that with a 2,5 ton single!
They should put a dual hoist to it and advertise it as the future long range SAR helicopter.
I allways believed the swiss were more realistic, but then you never know which pills they had for breakfast.

If they go through with this helicopter I hope that they are able to met the posted capabilities AND understand that just building a nice helicopter is only part of the equation. It also requires a good customer support system to make it a success. Unfortunately this is something that several manufacturers have never understood and several other manufacturers seem to be in the process of forgetting.
Any updates on Marenco?
Been checking their website and doesn't appear to be many updates. Though the first flight from what I gather at Heli Expo should be pretty soon though, like before the end of the year.

Could be this one? Something to do with Marenco?
Hubschrauberproduktion in Altenburg?
In short: A swiss holding company wants to buy property at the Altenburg airport to built a Helicopter production plant.
Deal not fixed yet, but expected this month.
