The prototype for the Allison (now Rolls-Royce) 250 turboshaft powered 480 five seater first flew in 1989 after a proof of concept 280FX testbed powered by an Allison 250-C20W began test flying the previous year. The 480 was certificated in June 1993.
Current Enstrom production models are the F-28F Falcon which first appeared in 1981; the FLIR pod equipped F-28F-P Sentinel which is optimised for police work; the three seat 280FX Shark which was certificated in early 1988; and the turbine powered 480 and TH-28. |
