Global Piston-engined Helicopter Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The two most common types of engines used in helicopters are the reciprocating engine and the turbine engine. Reciprocating engines, also called piston engines, are generally used in smaller helicopters. Most training helicopters use reciprocating engines because they are relatively simple and inexpensive to operate. The piston engine on a helicopter is very similar to the engine in your car. Air is sucked into the engine through a carburettor, or an air intake for the models that are fuel injected. This type of engine is a 4 stroke engine, which has 4 stages of operation. Lighter and less powerful than the Turbine Helicopter, Piston Helicopters are also less expensive to operate, and are therefore a popular choice for personal transportation, tourism and training purposes. Powered by piston engines as opposed to turbine, the leading models in this category can reach up to 350nm range.

Global key piston-engined helicopter manufacturers include Robinson Helicopter Company Hélicoptères Guimbal, Enstrom Helicopter Corp. etc. The top 3 companies hold a share about 95%. North America is the largest market, with a share about 35%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific with the share about 23% and 22%. In terms of product, four-seat helicopter is the largest segment, with a share over 60%. And in terms of application, the largest application is flight training, followed by touring.
