Design and development

The RotorWay Exec was developed into a turbine-powered version in 1996 by AvioTecnica of Italy and marketed as the AvioTecnica ES-101 Raven. In 2008 the Raven design was acquired by Alpi and further developed. [1]

The AH 130 externally resembles the RotorWay Exec. It features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, skid-type landing gear and a 130 hp (97 kW) Solar T62 auxiliary power unit employed as a turboshaft engine. Its 7.63 m (25.0 ft) diameter two-bladed rotor has a chord of 20 cm (7.9 in). The aircraft has an empty weight of 290 kg (639 lb) and a gross weight of 580 kg (1,279 lb), giving a useful load of 290 kg (639 lb). With full fuel of 90 litres (20 imp gal; 24 US gal) the payload is 225 kg (496 lb). [1]
