about Schweizer 300

The Schweizer 300 (formerly Hughes 300) family of light utility helicopters was originally produced by Hughes Helicopters, as a development of the Hughes 269. Now manufactured by Schweizer Aircraft, a recent subsidiary of Sikorsky Aircraft, the basic design has been in production for almost 50 years. The single, three-bladed main rotor and piston-powered Schweizer 300 is mostly used as a cost-effective platform for training and agriculture. In February 2009, the 300C was rebranded as the Sikorsky S-300C. It has a 190 hp (141 kW) engine that allows a cruising speed of 86 kts (159 km/h),a range of 195 nm (361 km) and a rate of climb of 750 ft/min (3.8 m/sec).
