The fuselage and the structural components of the airframe have been designed with state-of-the-art materials making extensive use of composite materials.
SPACE AND ACCESSIBILITY
The large cabin provides passengers with excellent comfort, ample legroom and great external visibility. Access to the main cabin area is through rear sliding doors and forward hinged doors on both sides of the fuselage. The cabin has been designed to provide high levels of operational flexibility. It can be quickly and easily reconfigured from a passenger layout to a cargo solution capable of carrying up to 323 kg (710 lb) in the cabin and a further 150 kg (331 lb) in the baggage compartment.
OPERATIonAL CAPABILITY
The technical solution implemented by PZL’s technicians have driven the development of a helicopter with advanced multi-role capabilities adaptable to diverse mission profiles. Furthermore, excellent flying qualities and high inherent safety also make the SW-4 extremely suitable for training operations. It is possible to configure the helicopter for basic and advanced flying training. The use of the SW-4 for training purposes by the Polish Army ensures it meets military pilot training regulations and NATO standards.
