In this episode, we’re looking at our top list of the most fuel-efficient private helicopters available in the market. We’ll talk about each of their fuel burn rates, flight performance, technical features, and unit price. Check out today’s interesting lineup if you’re looking for the least fuel-hungry helicopters in the market!
Operating a private helicopter can be quite expensive given its fuel requirements when you are hopping from city to city or especially if you are flying to remote locations. Of course, the larger the helicopter, the bigger the engine and the more fuel it needs to burn for each hour of flight. Smaller piston-powered helicopters can burn 5-20 gallons of fuel per hour while larger turbine-powered helicopters can burn anywhere between 25 to over a thousand gallons of fuel per hour.

My favorite heli here, i love the MD600 Notar. Thanks Sophie, keep up the good work. I would like to watch your videos about civilian coaxial helicopters like the EDM AeroTech CoAX 2D, Cicare CH-11 and others.

The comparison really is quite meaningless. Fuel is only a small part of the cost of operating a helicopter. By the time you take into account engine overhaul, airframe maintenance, depreciation, rotables consumption, crew costs, insurance, keeping spare parts and all the other costs of operating the helicopter, fuel consumption really isn't a consideration when comparing one helicopter against another when choosing a suitable aircraft for the job.

@nythawkfpv Жыл бұрын

the fact that all but one of these being turbines really makes me laugh lmfao. Yeah sure some may cost fuck all, but as soon as you do any form of engine maintenance, rip wallet

So is the no1 the 135, 130 or 125? Big difference as I actually think the 125 is the cheaper model out of the 3 by quite a margin.

The range and versatility of MD choppers is still full of surprises and I certainly regularly gotten to see the MD 600 Notar types do some dependable work for HEMS flying ambulance up close for many years.

I don't trust anything from MD and now Boeing due to MD's influence. They're corrupt and make dangerous shortcuts for profit.

You make a valid point about the Enstrom Helicopters. They do bring unique features to the table. Are there specific models or aspects of Enstrom Helicopters that you believe deserve more recognition?

if your worried about the cost of fuel you cant afford a helicopter

@patrickjennings7362 Жыл бұрын

Some issues here. The R44 runs on AVGAS while the others run on Jet A. All of the turbines burn much more Jet A in an hour than a piston running on AVGAS. Also, the Enstrom 480B was left out and it has the lowest GPH fuel burn of any Jet A fueled, turbine helicopter beating the highly efficient MD 500 and Jet Ranger by just 1 GPH (on average).

You raised a great point there that we failed to mention. We focused mainly on fuel burn rate here. Thanks for the useful feedback!

I wish you would use miles per hour, and distance in miles as well. because I have no idea what you mean when you say knots or nautical miles.

You have an AIRBUS H130 in your AIRBUS H135 slot......by the way......which would have served the number one spot better since it is also single engine.

@AviationFederation 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for pointing that out! Good catch. Between the latest AIRBUS H130 and H135, which one do you think deserves the top spot considering their single-engine design?

I appreciate your sentiments, and pursuing a dream like becoming a helicopter pilot can be financially demanding. As the lyrics suggest, you're not alone in having big dreams. Have you considered any creative or alternative approaches to make your dream of becoming a helicopter pilot more attainable?
