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.

FADEC: Easy to Fly
The FADEC system allows you to manage easy turning off and on of the turbine by moving the selector to the three designated positions: STOP - IDLE - FLY
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 a semi-articulated bearingless type. With three blades in composite material, the choice of the three-blade rotor is specifically designed to avoid mast bumping, ensuring greater safety, stability and speed.
FADEC:
FADEC: EASY TO FLY
The turboshaft TK-250 is equipped with the latest generation electronic systems that automatically handle the engine for the pilot's peace of mind.
Turn the TK-250 on, fly and turn off with three simple movements:
INSTRUMENTATION:
The instrumentation: Konner K1 has redundant digital instrumentation. Developed on a very high brightness display, it uses first choice data detection systems and guarantees visibility and clarity in all conditions of diffused or direct light.
HAS - Hybrid Assistant System
Konner HAS guarantees hybrid support for the TK-250 turbine when it needs additional power. The HAS system developed by Konner autonomously manages the starting of the electric motor without the need for intervention by the pilot, simplifying the activation system
TURBINE: 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:
