Savback Helicopters Debuts Ultra-Light Zefhir Helicopter in the UK

Savback Helicopters is bringing the Italian-built two-seat Zefhir helicopter to the Private Flyer show, part of The Elite Series, at Wycombe Air Park this week.  This luxury brand event, taking place May 13-14, 2022, brings together best-in-class luxury brands, private jets, helicopters, supercars, powerboats, yachts and lifestyle accessories - all in one location. 

The Zefhir helicopter, developed by CURTI Aerospace, has been designed for the discerning private pilot as a high-quality, two-seat single-turbine aircraft*.  Its airframe and components have been designed to meet the exacting requirements of EASA CS-27, with its carbon fibre airframe and the largest luggage space in its category.  Light, efficient and durable composite rotor blades and an elegant and clean interior add to its style. The CURTI company draws on decades of experience in the production of complex parts for certified helicopters.

Matching state-of-the-art materials and technology with a passion for flying deeply rooted in the company’s DNA, Zefhir gives the perfect synthesis between competence and intuition. Its Italian design is reflected in its attention to detail. Zefhir is presented as a ‘jewel of modern technology and materials,’ right down to its elegant lines and exclusive style interiors

Immediately following Private Flyer, the Zefhir will be available May 16-20 to view at Nottingham Heliport, where CURTI’s test pilot will be demonstrating the aircraft in-flight. Savback is also looking forward to offering interested guests an in-flight experience from Nottingham Heliport – time and weather permitting.  

*Savback Helicopters is seeking to get approval from the UK Civil Aviation Authority being in the opt out ultra-light category for helicopters (for recreational use) as already adopted by several EASA countries.
