Feel our passion: avant-garde, aggressive, commanding. An appearance that perfectly conveys its virtues and qualities. Adrenaline like never before!

Ultralight, two-seater side-by-side, maneuverable and efficient with engine alternatives that make it an extremely agile helicopter. Its semi-rigid rotor allows sharp maneuvers at very low vibrations, even at maximum power. Go further.

Diseño

Design

Sober, modern, soft and fluid lines, clean, pure and compact helicopter.

Engine Covers

Its design allows immediate easy access to the helicopter mechanics.

Functional design: optimized doors for easy access, ample instrumentation, maximum visibility from the interior, minimum frontal area and aerodynamic profile.

Structure

Cabin

Entirely made of carbon fiber, the cockpit is a lightweight semi-monocoque in the shape of a cage capable of absorbing deformation energy for the protection of its crew, complemented by a fuselage made of aeronautical quality Chrome Molybdenum Steel SAE 4130 and welded in a reticulated form.

Comfort

Seating

Designed for comfort and ergonomics of its crew. Upholstered in genuine bovine leather and available in various colors. Under the seat includes a convenient compartment for personal items.

Center Cyclic

Unique design with extensions on both sides for easy access, self-adjusting and removable height.  Allows easy pilot entrance and egress.

Tail Rotor Torque Pedals

Pedals adjustable to the height of the pilot and the co-pilot/instructor.

Overhead Panel

Located in the upper center of the cabin for a comfortable and simple start-up.

Dash Panel

Large and configurable dashboard for mini Ipad, Garmin Aera 600 series or 760 (not included)

Engines

The Cicaré 8 has two possible engines

GOVERNOR

The governor designed for all Cicaré helicopters is an auxiliary system that provides ease and comfort of flight, facilitating the pilot’s work. However, its unique clutch system allows the rider to have control of the power at any time they request it, without the need to disengage the system. In autorotation maneuvers, below 80% RPM, the governor waits for the pilot to manually return to operating range. Autorotation practices are realistic, fast and easy.

The engines used consume 35% less fuel than traditional aviation engines with similar performance. Resulting in a noticeable reduction in the carbon footprint of the aircraft. 

Power Transmission

This gear set provides excellent results when it comes to asking the engine for power, beginning with the centrifugal clutch system that ensures a smooth and gradual coupling between the engine and the transmission box (CTP). To the CTP the power is transmitted through a system of belts and pulleys. Then the power is distributed to the main and tail rotor, through a flex plate-cardan-box system. 

Quality Result

Decades of development, thousands of flight hours, strict control of raw materials, production processes and quality controls translate into unmatched performance, maneuverability and flight comfort. The inertia, mass distribution and high lift ratio provide safety and energy to the rotor in autorotation maneuvers.
