Cabri G2 - Helitech 2011 appearance
 
The Cabri G2 made it's debut showing in it's first UK helicopter show with a large group of curious attendees, most of which liked what they saw.
 
This helicopter, named the Cabri G2, is built by Helicopteres Guimbal of France. The designer of the aircraft and founder of the company, Bruno Guimbal, is a former Eurocopter engineer. The European Aviation Safety Agency awarded the Cabri G2 its type certificate on December 15, 2007.

The Cabri G2 incorporates the latest in carbon fiber composite technology for its fuselage, tail boom, and main and tail rotor blades to reduce weight while increasing strength. Designed with the flight training market in mind, the aircraft’s structure is incredibly strong, capable of protecting its passengers when dropped from an as-tested height of 15 meters. Additional safety features incorporated into the design are a fully articulated, high inertia three blade main rotor system to increase engine failure response times and to eliminate mast bumping. A shrouded fenestron tail rotor reduces the risk of tail rotor strike damage or injury.
