St. Louis, MO / June 13, 2013 – Sabreliner delivered two highly modified UH-60M Blackhawk helicopters earlier this year bringing their total number of VVIP helicopter completions to 11. The aircraft feature a Sabreliner-developed executive entry system and complete cabin entertainment systems.
The maneuverability of the Blackhawk helicopter along with Sabreliner's interior design and fabrication expertise have proved to be a winning combination for clients seeking a helicopter with a VVIP configuration.
"The airframe meets both the security and tactical needs of these VVIPs, and Sabreliner's custom interiors provide the level of quality and luxury expected by this audience," said Tracy Ogle, vice president helicopter services.
Sabreliner developed a frame-load isolation design which allows the combat-proven Blackhawk to be converted into VVIP transport aircraft for heads of state around the world. They also created executive entry clam-shell doors with integrated steps which maximize the space in the cabin for executive seating and work surfaces. The two Jordanian aircraft also incorporate a full cadre of entertainment systems that display iPod content and DVDs on both individual and 17-inch cabin-mounted monitors. An iridium phone system allows conference calling.
