VHA Begins Flight Test of New MD 530F Main Rotor Blades
Friday, July 27th, 2012
VHA began flight testing its newly redesigned MD530F main rotor blades on July 24, 2012.
Van Horn Aviation returned to flight testing this week as it celebrated a successful first flight of its MD 530F main rotor blades on July 24, 2012. The flight testing, held at the MD Helicopters facility in Mesa, Ariz., validated the design changes made to the blade since last year’s initial hover test and allows the program to move forward toward certification. VHA flight test personnel expect to continue through the various phases of flight testing through the third quarter 2012.
