A Swift Mosquito Is Sighted In Oshkosh

Innovator Technologies Displays Their New 2-Place Helicopter Body

By Dave Juwel

Innovator Technologies, the maker of the Mosquito helicopter, and Composite FX, have partnered together to build a new 2-place helicopter called the "Swift." Mr. Dwight Junkin, of Composite FX, discussed the merits of the new helicopter when they complete it.

It will have a useful load of 700 lbs, a max speed of 120 mph, and a cruise range of 350 miles. The tail rotor will be an enclosed fenestron, and the engine is expected to be a Lycoming based IO-360. They are expecting completion and test flying to begin at the end of 2013. You can watch it being built online.

This helicopter will have a full suspension  rotor system, composite rotor blades, an all composite fuselage, twin fuel tanks holding a total of 35 gallons, a fenestron shrouded tail rotor and a 185 hp engine.
