More than just an aircraft
We are the exclusive sales representative for the Konner K1-S19 in the Nordic countries, United Kingdom (including British Isles) and Republic of Ireland.
Innovation
Konner K1-S19 wants to represent the idea of freedom: freedom to move & to reach coveted and inaccessible destinations. Freedom to experience unique emotions on board a helicopter unique in the world. The development team from which Konner K1-S19 was born brings together specialists from the aeronautical, engineering, materials, motorsport and design sectors.
Ten years of commitment, research, passion and dedication have allowed the development of K1-S19, a helicopter that stands out for its performance, lightness, availability of power, reliability and safety.
Next Generation Aircraft
The Konner helicopter models showcase a cutting-edge HAS system—Hybrid Assistance System. This pioneering system engages an additional electric engine in the event of an engine failure, presenting a paramount safety feature that eliminates the risk associated with the traditional “Dead Man’s Curve” for the pilot.
HAS - Hybrid Assistance System
The HAS system developed by Konner Helicopters allows the pilot, in the event of a loss of power from the turbine, to have a second source of energy... an electric motor to facilitate autorotation and consequently the landing of the helicopter.
+90 horsepower provided by the electric motor which allows you to keep the rotor revolutions under control to avoid a stall situation.
The HAS was specifically developed to interface with the K1-S19 and K2 Italia helicopters, the management of the electric motor is 100% autonomous thanks to the sophisticated control software. The pilot can activate/deactivate the system before takeoff.
The system has been tested numerous times to ensure it is 100% reliable, and so it has been, assisting the pilot every time during emergency clearance.
FADEC: Easy To Fly
The FADEC system allows you to easily manage the turning off and on of the turbine by moving the selector to the three designated positions: STOP - IDLE - FLY.
STOP: Turning off the turbine.
IDLE: Stabilization of the turbine making it ready for flight.
FLY: Increase in rotor speed, making the helicopter ready for take-off.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
The Konner K1-S19 is engineered to be a versatile and forward-thinking aircraft. It recognizes the importance of transitional solutions on the path to a fully sustainable aviation sector. SAF, often derived from renewable resources such as biofuels, presents an opportunity to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of air travel.
By integrating SAF into its operations, the K1-S19 demonstrates a dedication to sustainability. This approach ensures that it can adapt to various environmental and logistical conditions while prioritizing the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Safety on Konner K1-S19
K1-S19 wants to raise safety standards. Konner researchers developed the best active and passive safety systems and integrated them with style, design and lightness of K1-S19. The carbon fiber fuselage has been designed to ensure energy absorption in the event of a frontal or vertical impact. On K1-S19 the following options are available:
+4 points safety belts, with quick release system evenin case of rollover.
+Flexible tank in self-sealing material and non-returnvalves to ensure the containment of the fuel in case ofimpact or rollover.
+Crashworthy seats, Fuel tanks & Pop-out floats.
+Hybrid Assistance System, the revolutionary active safety device.
Konner K1-S19 & TK 250 turbines
The heart of the K1-S19 is born from the “gas turbine engines” division, the TK-250 turbine , capable of guaranteeing 250 hp, whose exuberance is contained in just 50 kg of weight.
The most advanced technologies blend inside the engine and a latest generation FADEC allows the pilot to exploit its characteristics in complete safety and tranquility.
