| Description |
Fama Helicopters was founded in 2009 and is based in Italy. The KISS 209M was developed by Nino Famà (who had a career in the motor racing industry) as a consequence of the never-ending search for the most economical ultralight helicopter. The aircraft makes use of the latest possible technology in the fields of electronics, fuselage design and engines. As the helicopter's model name tells us, Fama claims that his design also excels when it comes to simplicity as he applied the well known KISS (“Keep it simple, stupid”) engineering principle during the design phase. Remarkable is the retractable landing gear, which is unique in this class of experimental kit helicopters.
The helicopter is 95% produced and assembled by Fama Helicopters. This is an important cornerstone in the company’s strategy of keeping the price low without compromising quality control.
The two-seater KISS 209M has strong performance specifications with its three hour flight time and plenty of room for luggage.
