3 December 2019
The Italian manufacturer CURTI Industries and the international distributor Savback Helicopters have entered into a new partnership for the promotion and sale of the “Zefhir” helicopter in all of Northern Europe.
On the rapidly evolving light helicopter market, CURTI is bringing innovation in both technology and safety, with their lightweight turbine helicopter “Zefhir”. Savback Helicopters is delighted to announce this new partnership, to bring the innovation to the Northern European markets, including Sweden, Norway, Finland, Latvia, and Russia, amongst others.
“Zefhir” raises the bar in safety and performance in the newborn 600 kg ultralight category: the innovative and disruptive ballistic parachute, as well as the overall attention to safety in the design, manufacturing and validation processes, are the key elements of this helicopter.
The parachute, extensively tested as never documented before in aviation history, is a safety device designed to provide an alternative solution added to autorotation that can be used when auto rotation is not possible, due to technical issues or other obstacles. An impressive video of this can be found on youtube. The parachute quick deployment of the parachute makes the device effective at the low altitude of 150 m.
Customers will appreciate Zefhir’s elegant Italian design, the powerful turboshaft engine, the comfortable and stylish interiors, the efficient, high-inertia and silent rotors and the large luggage van.

We know our customers are excited about the developments on the helicopter market, and we cannot wait to introduce them to the “Zefhir”, that we are confident will be an instant success.
