September 26, 2007 - DART Helicopter Services' subsidiary, Apical Industries Inc., has received FAA approval of their Lower Front Fairing Assembly designed for AS350/355 helicopters. Transport Canada and EASA approvals are pending.
The Lower Front Fairing Assembly includes a fuselage panel constructed of high strength carbon and glass fibers surrounding a structural foam core. The fairing mounts in the original location using existing fasteners and is available in two different finishes, a clear coat finish or a primed finish. A thin spray-on metallic coating is applied to the inner surface of the fairing which can serve as a ground plane for antennas if needed.
AS350/355 Lower Front Fairing assembly weighs 11.5 pounds and does not impose any aircraft limitations.
