The Guimbal Cabri G2 is a light training helicopter designed from scratch by Bruno Guimbal. With a fully enclosed Lycoming engine, composite airframe, and a three-blade rotor that's whisper-quiet, it's become the trainer of choice for flight schools that want something more modern than a Robinson.
Fun fact
The Cabri G2 has a crash-resistant fuel system and a composite cabin that meets the same impact standards as airliners.
