FAMA HELICOPTERS was established in 2009 with the realization of the new project KISS 209M, designed and built by Nino Famà. KISS that means “Keep Is Stupidly Simple”, a name that shows the simplicity of the use.

About KISS 209M

The project of KISS 209M was established from the will of a revolutionary project, both on the technological and on the economic level.

Nino Famà, with thanks to the experience of his builder and tester, managed to realize an ultra light helicopter with retractable runner, turbine engine, great luggage space, 3 hours flight time, and one hour more with an additional tank. The average speed is 185 Km/h, completely realized in carbon fiber, and the main mechanical parts are electronically controlled.

A very important aspect is that all of this helicopter is made in Italy, and the 95% is produced by the Famà Helicopters in its own plants.
