About the Enstrom 280C SHARK

The Enstrom 280 (the "Shark") and its F28 sibling are three-seat piston helicopters known for exceptional stability and a strong, fully-articulated rotor system that gives a smooth, forgiving ride. Powered by a Lycoming piston (turbocharged on several variants), the 280 is a rugged, lower-cost light helicopter favoured for private flying and training where stability and build quality matter.
