The MD902 Explorer: A Modern Icon in Twin-Engine Design
The MD902 Explorer is the evolved successor to the original MD900, redefining light twin-engine helicopter performance. First flown in 1992 and certified in 1994, the MD902E integrates McDonnell Douglas’s revolutionary NOTAR® system—eliminating the tail rotor for enhanced safety, reduced noise, and superior agility.
Powered by dual Pratt & Whitney PW207E engines, the MD902E delivers full Category A performance and advanced avionics integration. Trusted globally for EMS, law enforcement, and offshore operations, its sleek profile, low acoustic footprint, and proven reliability make it a benchmark in mission versatility and operational excellence.
