MD Helicopter’s American Made Trainer Positioned for Army Flight School Next

United States —  As the U.S. Army advances its vision for Flight School Next, MD Helicopters proudly puts forward the MD 530F as a purpose-built, combat-relevant training aircraft that directly reflects the mission demands of Army Aviation. Designed, built, and supported in America, the MD 530F is not simply a commercial adaptation—it’s a military training platform born from decades of experience and built for the battlefield environments of tomorrow.

The MD 530F’s fully articulated, five-bladed rotor system provides handling characteristics that closely replicate those of the UH-60M Black Hawk, AH-64E Apache, and CH-47F Chinook—allowing students to train in a platform that feels like the real thing from the start. It offers exceptional maneuverability, direct control response, and unmatched visibility—fostering a training environment that accelerates readiness while reinforcing safety. With hydraulics-free flight controls, an energy-absorbing fuselage, and crash-resistant fuel system, the MD 530F is engineered to protect the Army’s most valuable asset—its crew.

Based on the enduring 500 series airframe, it’s a military training platform that has steadily matured over decades of real-world combat experience. Proudly American-made, the MD 530F is powered by a Rolls Royce C30 engine that delivers 650 shp and excels in high-altitude, high-temperature environments. Its dual-control, NVG-compatible cockpit and durable system architecture enable minimal maintenance downtime and reduced lifecycle costs. These features translate directly into a lower total cost of ownership and a higher return on training investment.

“The Army is investing in its future warfighters, and that means delivering training tools that truly reflect operational reality,” said Ryan Weeks, President & CEO at MD Helicopters. “The MD 530F is not just ready for that mission—it was built for it.”

Key capabilities that set the MD 530F apart include:

  • Hydraulics-free flight controls that enhance tactile feedback and reduce maintenance complexity
  • Crash-resistant fuel system and an energy-absorbing fuselage to enhance crew safety
  • Dual-control, NVG-compatible cockpit for mission-relevant training, including night and limited-visibility operations
  • Rugged design and reliable components to support high availability and low operating costs

Already in service with military forces around the world, the MD 530F offers the Army a combat-relevant, operationally proven platform—not a test case.
