KIT’s story began with the 407HP. KIT knew that the highly capable aircraft would serve as the best choice to build a strong utility helicopter company around. The 407HP excels in the high and hot environment of the Western United States.

  • The Bell 407 with the Eagle 407HP modification is the king of the mountains. The high and hot capabilities are unmatched in the light helicopter market. Our 407 is the perfect combination of speed, power, comfort, and safety.

  • The Eagle Copters conversion improves the payload capability of our Bell 407 helicopter by an estimated 19% at 10,000 feet, significantly increasing the aircraft’s capability over a wider operating spectrum.
