2023 Konner Helicopters Konner K2

K2 was developed by combining generous dimensions, great comfort & refined design with the exceptional technical characteristics of the TK-250 turbine. All our projects are designed with great attention to detail & can be customized to fulfil the wishes of our customers according to the best tradition of the Italian tailor-made philosophy.

K2 Italia wants to raise safety standards. Konner researchers have developed the best active & passive safety systems & integrated them with the style, design & lightness of K2. The carbon fibre fuselage has been designed to ensure energy absorption in the event of a frontal or vertical impact.

Konner K2 & TK 250 turbines:

The heart of the K2 is born from the “gas turbine engines” division, also adopted by the Konner K1. The TK-250 turbine, capable of guaranteeing 250 hp, whose exuberance is contained in only 50 kg of weight.

The most advanced technologies come together inside the engine & a latest generation FADEC allows the pilot to exploit its features in complete safety & tranquillity.

FADEC: Easy to Fly:

The FADEC system allows you to manage easy turning off & on of the turbine by moving the selector to the three designated positions: STOP – IDLE – FLY

TK-250:

The TK-250 turboshaft engine: a concentrate of technology, cutting-edge solutions, first-rate design software, professionalism, conviction & passion have allowed Konner Gas Turbine Division to develop the lightest turboshaft engine in the world in its category: 250hp concentrated in 50 kg of pure passion. Konner, owner of the construction & design technology of the turboshaft engine, guarantees wide production availability, technical assistance, maintenance & global spare parts management, the turbine can be sold to DIESEL.

SAFETY ON KONNER K2:

K2 Italia wants to raise safety standards. Konner researchers have developed the best active & passive safety systems & integrated them with the style, design & lightness of K2. The carbon fibre fuselage has been designed to ensure energy absorption in the event of a frontal or vertical impact. The following options are available on K2 Italia:

Shockproof seats for all occupants, which guarantee energy absorption in the event of a collision;

4-point safety belts, with quick release system even in case of overturning;

Flexible tank in self-sealing material & non-return valves to ensure fuel containment in the event of a collision or overturning;

Hybrid Assistant System, the revolutionary active safety device.

ROTOR WITHOUT BEARINGS:

The K2 main rotor is a semi-articulated 4-blade system. The composite blades & the bearingless rotor allow to blend high efficiency in the distribution of the blade profile, low drug forces on the main rotor head, high reliability & long fatigue life components. The main rotor head, components & shaft shaft are made of special aircraft alloys. The elastic elements on the bearing the main rotor head ensure perfect functioning of the knuckle blade during flapping, shading & pitching movements, while ensuring high reliability & low maintenance costs.
