Two brand representatives will bring the latest news to HeliXP: Gualter Helicópteros will show updates on the Leonardo AW09 certification process, scheduled for this year, and ABH Helicópteros will update participants on the new Robinson R88, the first unit of which was sold to the Brazilian market.
The AW09 is a single-engine helicopter that sets new standards in its category.
