Enstrom Helicopter Debuts Brand-New 480B Lineup, Including 480B Elite
Enstrom Helicopter Corporation is proud to announce new options for pilots who wish to add head-turning style and comfort to an already stellar product.
The 480B Elite includes all the top-of-the-line features Enstrom Helicopter has to offer, including exclusive paint and interior styles. The 480B Signature will become the new baseline for what Enstrom will market to owner operators, with optional upgrades available.
Q3 delivery dates are available, with EASA and TCCA deliveries anticipated by Q1 2026. Opportunities are limited, so interested customers should act quickly and fill out this contact form to secure their spot for future delivery.
Included in the 480B Elite model package are Enstrom’s all-glass digital instrument panel, Garmin G500H avionics, GTN750/GTN650/Digital Audio radios, ADSB In/Out Surveillance, Genesys autopilot, and air conditioning.
Legendary airbrush artist Dean Loucks has designed exclusive paint schemes for the Elite – bold, clean patterns that will most certainly attract attention. Advanced interior trim and color packages will be included to match the designer paint jobs.
“This is the option for personal owners who want all the accoutrements,” said Charles Wade, Enstrom’s Senior Vice President of Product, Sales & Customer Excellence. “These are the pilots who enjoy the attention – whose desire is to show up in style wherever they travel, whether that be in their car, boat, coach, or airplane.”
The 480B Signature includes comparable features for engine indication, avionics, radios, and surveillance. Other features, like autopilot and air conditioning, may be added to the Signature model for an additional cost.
The standard 480B will remain a legacy product for customers who just want the basics or who prefer analog engine indication and avionics systems.
