MD Helicopters MD Explorer

Light twin-engine utility helicopter

Overview

The MD Helicopters MD Explorer is a light twin-engined utility helicopter designed and initially produced by the American rotorcraft specialist McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems. It was the company's first clean-sheet helicopter to incorporate the NOTAR system, which gave its tail a unique appearance as well as a quieter sound profile in contrast to a traditional tail rotor.
