The design of the private multi-purpose aircraft of the Quest AVQ model was started by Arabian aircraft designers with the joint participation of French and American aircraft builders in 2008. The rather unusual two-rotor design provided the helicopter with a sufficiently high speed of travel, moreover, taking into account the fact that the aircraft was to be VIP-helicopter, it was thanks to the extended fuselage that it was possible to provide the most comfortable arrangement of the saloon, Achievements of science, design and engineering solutions.
Despite the fairly large for a private multi-purpose aircraft size helicopter, the aircraft has a rather light structure, which is the main cause of high maneuverability.
As a fundamental principle when creating a model helicopter Quest AVQ, used military helicopter NHI NH90, however, aircraft manufacturers have used only some of the individual design elements, and in general, Quest AVQ aircraft design is unique.

His first test flight of the helicopter Quest AVQ model must undergo at the end of the year 2016, in this case, if the tests are successful, and no problems will be identified with the operation of the aircraft, then by the year 2020 the assembly line may begin to descend the first copies of this model. Experts believe that with a relatively small business for the private helicopter price, model Quest AVQ may prove to be very popular - plans to produce at least, 20 aircraft.
Cabin Quest AVQ helicopter is very large - in the relative comfort of four people can sleep here. Moreover, the trim of the aircraft Quest AVQ is quite rich - it uses precious wood, leather, gilding, etc. with a modern touch.
