One of the most important characteristics of this helicopter model is how quiet it is. It uses state-of-the-art technology such as modified main rotor tips and a fenestron tail rotor to become the quietest helicopter in its class. While on routine patrol, the helicopter would operate at about 1,200 feet above ground level and would barely be noticeable. During emergency situations, the helicopter might well operate at much lower altitudes but during such emergencies, the helicopter would add little noise above such sounds as police sirens.
