Company Continues Aiming for Pole Position in Lithium Battery Installations
Airwolf Aerospace received FAA STC approval for the installation of True Blue Power's TB17 Lithium-ion batteries across 5 makes and 10 models of Helicopters. The approval now allows them to apply trusty, improved, lithium-battery power to the Airbus H125, AS350, AS355, EC-120, H130, and EC130; Bell's 206A, 206B, and 206L; Enstrom's 480B, Hiller's UH-12E, and MD Helicopters 369 and 500 models. The STC allows the installation in the baggage compartment in some models like the AS350, further improving handling by putting the smaller, lighter battery closer to the aircraft's center of gravity.
