Top 5 Light Helicopters Under $3M 2021-2022 | Price & Specs

Continuing my ongoing series on some of the world’s best helicopters, I’m sharing my list of the top light helicopters under US$ 3 million, together with their unit price and technical specifications. Stick around for the number 1 helicopter on this list!

Airplanes dominate the sky, but the most flexible and risky missions are often dealt with by helicopters. Most utility and commercial helicopters fall under the light, single-engine category, and this is arguably the most competitive segment of the market. Now featuring more powerful engines, advanced avionics, and other innovations, there’s definitely a long list of strong contenders under this category.
