Since 26th of April 2010 we are EN9100-certified in the field of quality management. Now we have it black and white, that we are particularly qualified for design, production and distribution of propeller for aircrafts. This is excellent for us and particularexcellent for our customer.

Since this year the Aero takes place annually. We will be there. You will find us in hall A4, stand 230. See you, then!

Many thanks to all visitors, who looked in on our exhibition stand. We are glad about the large resonance, which gave us a lot of suspenseful and informative conversation. A very positive feedback from our customers – a good thing, because experiential reports are important for us. We notice a more growing interest in our propeller for microlites. The exhibits showed a wide range of our H50F Propeller series – from the “Silent” one to the “Allrounder” to the “Specialist”.

Some customers flight in with their airplane, inter alia Peak Aerospace with Me 109, Corvus with Phantom, Remos with GX and Rotortec with Gyrocopter “Side by Side “ and also Air Trike Berlin.

See you next year at AERO 2010!

Helix Carbon GmbH will attend the Aero 2009 in Friedrichshafen. You will find us at Halle A5, Stand 324. We are pleased to see you at the fair!

28.05.2007 New production facility in Merzbrück Airfield
Nessler und Grünzig Bau GmbH has started to build the new factory in Merzbrück Airfield.

The production of our propeller will be started in Oktober 2007 at the new factory.

With the new capacity Helix will be able to satisfy the rising demand for our propellers and to make sure that we have short delivery time on individual customer requests.

Here you can see a virtual shot of the new building.

15th May - Helix propeller flown over Mount Everest.
Helix congratulates Bear Grylls and Giles Cardozo from GKN Mission Everest for their great success. On 14th of may both guys achieved take off from the GKN Mission Everest base camp situated at 14,500 feet in Nepal.

At 28.000 feet (1000 feet below the summit) Giles engine had a fault and so Bear reached 29.500 feet and looked down on top of Mount Everest.

The Pilots have been pushed by a 1,40m 3-blade Helix propeller mounted on a special Parajet Paramotor based on a rotary engine.

Mathieu Rouanet 2nd on French PPG Championship / Helix propeller on first 3 places

The Helix Team congratulates Mathieu Rouanet, Paramotor World Champion 2005-2006 to his second place on French nationals. New French Champion is Ronan Chollou. First in open class is Michel Carnet.
Mathieu is a real sportsman, his comment: “I'm not French Champion this year, but the first is at his good place, he flown very well!”.
Mathieu didn’t sound very sad, maybe the fact that he also did a new World record in kicking sticks during the contest makes it easier to him to be second!

Mathieu is sponsored by Helix since 01/2007

This Championship was a great success for Helix, because the first 3 Pilots we’re pushed by Helix propeller. Many thanks to the pilots for their thrust in our products and the well done job! – We push you to success!

Helix exposes prototype of electric paramotor on Coupe Icare in Saint Hilaire:

In the context of the exhibition on Coupe Icare Helix shows his Prototye of electric paramotor. Richard Krüger-Sprengel the developer of the
prototype has shown that electric paragliding is possible and will be the future. The greate feedback and resonace on the prototype stengthen
Krüger-Sprengel in his opininon. He is in close contact to several developer teams who are working on electric paramotors.
Richard Krüger-Sprengel is going to install a yearly meeting for electric paramotors, to have a platform for exchange of ideas and to
show inovations. For 2007 it is planned to imply that meeting into the german paramotor championship in Krahwinkel (15.-20.05.2007) to show the
state of the art to a wide audience.If you are interested in technical details and pictures of the electric
paramotor see here :
