This helicopter features a spacious cabin with a flat floor and large doors, providing easy access for passengers and cargo. The MD 902 Explorer is widely used in various roles, including emergency medical services (EMS), law enforcement, search and rescue, and corporate transport. Its advanced avionics and robust design make it a reliable and versatile aircraft, capable of operating in diverse environments and challenging conditions.

MD 902 Explorer NOTAR

Safety has been integrated into the MD 902 Explorer from the start. Engineered for occupant safety and crash worthiness for impacts up to 30Gs at 30 feet-per-second, no other light or medium-twin helicopter even comes close to that capability. Powered by two Pratt and Whitney Canada PW207E engines, the MD 902 Explorer features a fully articulated main rotor system, bearingless composite flexbeams and rotor hub. The most extraordinary safety feature of the MD 902 Explorer is the anti-torque control provided by the patented NOTAR® system. NOTAR technology reduces pilot workload and external noise levels, and significantly improves safety in confined areas and on offshore platforms.
