Kaman New Zealand SH-2G(I) Achieves First Flight

First Aircraft To Eventually Be Tasked With Maintenance And Aircrew Training

The first NZ SH-2G(I) Super Seasprite helicopter for the government of New Zealand began production flight testing this week at Kaman Aerospace's Bloomfield, Connecticut facility.

After production flight tests, this aircraft will be used for maintenance and aircrew training. The program is on track with deliveries of all ten aircraft scheduled to be complete in mid-2015.

“This milestone is significant for the program and our continued commitment to the New Zealand Maritime Helicopter Capability project,” said Drake Klotzman, Kaman’s Director, AVMRO Programs.

Peter Lowen, New Zealand Defense Force Project Manager, stated, “This flight of a NZ SH-2G(I) with a ‘Kiwi’ roundel represents a major milestone. The effort invested by the Ministry of Defense and the New Zealand Defense Force in cooperation with Kaman is now paying off.”
