In this episode, we’re looking at our top list of the most fuel-efficient private helicopters available in the market. We’ll talk about each of their fuel burn rates, flight performance, technical features, and unit price. Check out today’s interesting lineup if you’re looking for the least fuel-hungry helicopters in the market!
Operating a private helicopter can be quite expensive given its fuel requirements when you are hopping from city to city or especially if you are flying to remote locations. Of course, the larger the helicopter, the bigger the engine and the more fuel it needs to burn for each hour of flight. Smaller piston-powered helicopters can burn 5-20 gallons of fuel per hour while larger turbine-powered helicopters can burn anywhere between 25 to over a thousand gallons of fuel per hour.
