The two-seat Cabri G2 light helicopter was designed by Bruno Guimbal, a Eurocopter engineer, and the prototype (F-PILA) made its first flight at Marseille-Marignane in April 1992. Powered by a 150hp Lycoming, it has a fenestron-type tail rotor and three-blade main rotor. The Cabri is built largely of composite materials and development has continued at Aix-en-Provence with restricted DGAC certification being issued on 18 April 1994.
