FEATURES AND BENEFITS
1.0 MD500E® Features and Benefits
The MD 500E® delivers the highest speed, payload and productivity in its class. Rear seat
passengers have greater headroom and visibility than earlier Model 500s. Refinements provide
first class front and rear seating with ample legroom. The T-shaped instrument panel provides
space for a full complement of modern avionics.
With a five-bladed main rotor and the choice of a 420-shp Rolls-Royce 250-C20B or 450-shp
Rolls-Royce 250-C20R turbine engine, the MD 500E® is the best performing helicopter in its
class. The MD 500E® light turbine helicopter allows easy configuration conversions from a
deluxe, five-place executive transport to a utility cargo carrier. Typical uses include urban and
remote location transportation of key personnel, technicians and craftsmen; aerial survey,
patrol and photography; agricultural and fire-fighting applications; air rescue operations; and
numerous other tasks within the construction, petroleum and forestry industries.
Standard high-clearance skids permit operations in rough terrain, while other optional
equipment, such as inflatable floats and litter kit increase the versatility of the MD 500E®.
Proven reliability of the de-rated turbine engine, fail-safe design and a worldwide network of
factory-authorized service centers assure customer satisfaction.
