The most extraordinary safety feature of the MD 902 Explorer is the anti-torque control provided by the patented NOTAR® system. NOTAR technology reduces pilot workload and external noise levels, and significantly improves safety in confined areas and on offshore platforms.COMMITMENTBeyond its sleek aerodynamic lines, the performance parameters of the MD 902 Explorer have been enhanced, enabling greater operating capability at maximum internal weight for hover, speed and maneuverability in all wind directions. With the largest functional cabin the light –twin category, the MD 902 Explorer allows the flexibility to configure the aircraft for a range of specific mission requirements.SUPPORTThe MD 902 Explorer was designed with the maintainer in mind. A built-in Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) enables technicians to download engine and flight data whenever necessary. The transmission may be removed without displacing the rotor hub or rotor blades. The MD 902 Explorer also features built-in maintenance steps and platforms.
