The Schweizer 333
The Model 333 has more power, more gross weight, more useful load, more speed, more hover performance; and best of all, the lowest operating cost of any turbine-powered helicopter. The Model 333...a new helicopter for a new millennium; a new standard for light turbine-powered helicopters.
The Model 333 provides:
- Thirty percent (30%) more useful load than a comparably equipped 330SP
- Upgraded main rotor system including: blades with cambered airfoil; large diameter, splined hub assembly; oil-filled drive shaft
- Superior cruise and hover performance in high and hot operating conditions
- Bottom line value: the most cost-effective turbine helicopter on the market today
- Unequaled flight stability and outstanding handling characteristics
- High stance landing gear with improved ground clearance
- Spacious cabin with superb visibility
- Reduced pilot fatigue because of: ergonomically designed seats, low control forces, low vibration levels, and low cabin noise levels
- Broad range of customer services, from spare parts support to maintenance training
- New standard for safety: forgiving flight characteristics and components with proven reliability reduce the risk of accident; unparalleled energy absorption for crew protection
- Lowest noise signature of any conventional tail rotor turbine helicopter.
