Better by design
Certified in 1994, K-MAX helicopters now operate in 10 countries around the world, growing in popularity due to their impressive vertical lift capabilities. Designed to perform repetitive external lifting — the American-made K-MAX performs that mission better than any other helicopter in the world. The single-engine, single-seat K-MAX is a rugged workhorse, and no helicopter works harder or more efficiently.

Performance? The K-MAX can lift more than it weighs — 6,000 pounds.

Efficiency? The K-MAX burns 82 gallons of fuel per hour during lift operations, the most efficient lift-to-fuel ratio of any helicopter in its class.

Simple Design
To understand what makes the K-MAX better — just look to the original design. A simple, straightforward design has resulted in fewer aircraft systems, and has shortened the load path between the engine and the rotor system, enhancing the airframe's ability to handle the stress loads generated between the rotor system and the cargo hook assembly during repeated lifting. This simplicity of design also enhances the safety and reliability of the K-MAX.
