 The Story
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.

‘55 ‘65 ‘75 ‘85 ‘95 ‘05 ‘15

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.

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
2 confined-area access capability.

®

Greater Safety. Reduced Noise. Reduced Pilot Workload. Reduced Aircraft Vibration.
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.
