Rotorway International Helicopters
RotorWay Aircraft was originally founded by B.J. Schramm and began with the Scorpion helicopter.
In 1990, the Exec series began. It had a fully enclosed structure and cockpit,
enhanced performance and good design, with an elastomeric rotor head.
This lead to improved handling. In 1990, the company was acquired by John
Netherwood and became RotorWay International. The Exec 90 became the new
model with significant improvements including a new landing gear,
additional tail boom structural modifications and increased diameter
shaft. A new pair of windows were added just above the pilot and
passenger heads and the fiberglass access panels were split.
Since 1994, a new and improved model was made - the Exec 162F.
This model has 150 horsepower with a 162 cubic inch powerplant.
Also part of the design is an asymmetrical main rotor blade, a fully
automated digital engine control system (FADEC) that provides
complete redundancy.
