Alaskan Company To Take Delivery Of The Aircraft In 2018
ROTAK Helicopter Services of Anchorage, Alaska has placed orders for two K-MAX helicopters with deliveries expected in 2018.
“We are looking forward to adding the capabilities of the K-MAX to our growing fleet of helicopters," said Ely Woods, Owner and Director of Maintenance for ROTAK. "The addition of the K-MAX will allow us to support our current customers with a more efficient aircraft with a higher payload than we can offer today. We have admired the K-MAX for some time and the reopened production line has afforded us the opportunity to add this helicopter type to our fleet and expand our business.”
“ROTAK is a strong operator and we appreciate the confidence they have placed in Kaman. Their order demonstrates the continued interest from companies around the world in the capabilities of the K-MAX,” stated Drake Klotzman, General Manager of the AVMRO division of Kaman Aerosystems. “This continued strong interest from customers has resulted in the initial K-MAX production lot of ten aircraft being nearly sold out.”
Development of the K-MAX was led by Kaman founder and former CEO, aviation pioneer Charles H. Kaman, and received Federal Aviation Administration certification in 1994. The single-engine, single-seat K-MAX is a rugged low-maintenance aircraft that features a counter-rotating rotor system and is optimized for external load operations and designed specifically for vertical reference flight. The aircraft can lift up to 6,000 pounds.
Deliveries of new production K-MAX helicopters are expected to begin this spring with the first two helicopters slated for a customer in China.
