Strength, power, safety and design

                        merge, a new era takes shape.

Konner K1 wants to represent the idea of freedom: freedom to move, to reach sought-after and inaccessible destinations. Freedom to experience unique emotions aboard a helicopter unique in the world. The development team from which Konner K1 was born brings together specialists from the aeronautical, engineering, materials, engines and design sectors.

Years of commitment, research, passion and dedication have allowed the development of K1, a helicopter that stands out for its performance, lightness, availability of power, reliability and safety. 

Konner K1 embodies the philosophy from which it was born: merging passion, technology and dreams.

Konner K1 & TK 250 turbines

From the "gas turbine engines" division comes the heart of the K1, the TK-250 turbine, capable of guaranteeing 250 hp, whose exuberance is contained in only 50 kg of weight.


The most advanced technologies come together inside the engine and a latest generation FADEC allows the pilot to exploit its features in complete safety and tranquility.

STOP: Turbine shutdown 

IDLE: Turbine stabilization making it ready for flight

FLY: Increased rotor rpm, making the helicopter ready for take-off

TK-250

The TK-250 turboshaft engine: a concentrate of technology, cutting-edge solutions, first-rate design software, professionalism, conviction and passion have allowed Konner Gas Turbine Division to develop the lightest turboshaft engine in the world in its category: 250hp concentrated in 50 kg of pure passion. Konner, owner of the construction and design technology of the turboshaft engine, guarantees wide production availability, technical assistance, maintenance and global spare parts management. The turbine also works beautifully with DIESEL fuel. 

  • Rotor
    The main rotor is of the semi-articulated bearingless type, with three blades in composite material, the choice of the three-blade rotor is specifically designed to avoid mast bumping, guaranteeing greater safety, stability and speed.
  • Instrumentation
    Konner K1 has redundant digital instrumentation, developed on very high brightness displays, uses first-rate data detection systems and guarantees visibility and clarity in any diffuse or direct light condition.
  • TK-250 turbine
    The TK-250 turboshaft engine: a concentration of technology, cutting-edge solutions, first-rate design software, professionalism, conviction and passion have allowed Konner Gas Turbine Division to develop the lightest turboshaft engine in the world in its category:
  • FADEC: Full Authority Digital Engine Control
    FADEC: EASY TO FLY The turboshaft TK-250 is equipped with the latest generation electronic systems that automatically manage the engine for pilot peace of mind. Turn on, fly and turn off the TK-250 with three simple movements of the selector.
  • HAS: Hybrid Assistance System
    Konner H.A.S. guarantees hybrid support to the TK-250 turbine whenever it needs additional power. The H.A.S. system developed by Konner, it independently manages the start of the electric motor without the need for intervention from the pilot, simplifying the activation system.
  • Carbon Fiber Monoblock
    Konner K1 introduces the concept of a monobloc carbon fiber structure to the aeronautical world, an idea widely used in the aerospace and Formula 1 sectors.
