Technology: How It Works

The NOTAR® system consists of an enclosed articulated fan driven by the main transmission, a circulation control tail boom, direct-jet thruster, and vertical stabilizers.

Low pressure air, forced through two slots on the tail boom, causes the main rotor downwash to “hug” the contour of the boom, creating lateral lift that counteracts main rotor torque.

NOTAR®: Performance

Greater Safety

  • FACTà 21 percent of all incidents or accidents are due to tail rotor strikes or loss of tail rotor effectiveness
  • NOTAR® Eliminates these Problems

Noise Abatement

  • Twice as quiet as any other helicopter

Lessened Pilot Workload

  • Uses the Coanda Effect to provide tailboom lift and anti-torque
  • Improved stability and controllability
  • Reduced sensitivity to wind direction on helicopter control

Diminished Aircraft Vibration

  • Increased passenger comfort
  • Decrease pilot fatigue
  • Reduced stress on components and airframe

ENGINE

The MD Explorer is equipped with twin PWC 207E engines with:

  • Integrated diagnostics system
  • Integrated water wash system
  • Integrated fire detection/ suppression system with cockpit detection/operation
  • Inlet barrier filters for inlet protection
  • Integrated engine and gearbox EICAS
  • Independent engine drive to main rotor transmission

Balance, Health & Usage Monitoring Systems

  • Baseline BMS system with optional HUMS capability
  • Standard: Balance and Monitoring System with onboard track-and-balance
  • Option 1: Basic HUMS system using minimal set of accelerometers
  • Option 2: Enhanced HUMS system using additional accelerometers and sensors
  • On-board HUMS provide scalable solutions for Transmission Vibration Monitoring, Structural Vibration Monitoring, Structural Usage monitoring and Rotor Track & Balance.
  • Operational readiness will increase as HUMS, sensors and embedded diagnostic software monitor and communicate the health& maintenance needs of critical components
  • Over time, HUMS will result in:
  • Early detection of developing flaws and better data for faster troubleshooting
  • Reduction of inspections & test flights
  • Increased parts lifecycle
  • Lower lifetime operating costs

Weights & Load Capacity

Noise Abatement

The MD Explorer is a pioneer in “Green” technology, producing a noise signature that is the lowest among all light twin-engine helicopters and lower than many smaller single-engine helicopters.

Low noise signature provides less warning for possible enemy to incoming threat, increasing safety for the flight crew.
