At Van Horn Aviation, we design, certify, and manufacture composite rotor blades that improve the fiscal and physical performance of various legacy helicopters.

At Van Horn Aviation, we design, certify, and manufacture composite rotor blades that improve the fiscal and physical performance of various legacy helicopters. Our FAA STC/PMA certificated AS350 tail rotor system eliminates the problematic elastomeric half-bearings in the current tail rotor, reduces control loads, and increases performance at a cost comparable to OEM prices. AS350 operators flying the VHA tail rotor can expect to save 25% in maintenance costs over the life of the tail rotor.
