Brantly

Brantly International Inc. is a privately held company with both the head office and the factory co-located in Vernon, Texas, USA. The factory's facilities were built in 1989 for the single purpose of producing Brantly helicopters. They manufacture the B-2B model helicopter and the spare parts needed to maintain a growing fleet of Brantly helicopters.

Mr. Newby O. Brantly designed the B-2 model helicopter around 1953 and the FAA granted the type certificate in 1959. Further improvements on this design led to, in 1963, the B-2B.

The B-2B is the lowest priced three bladed, fully certified helicopter in the world. No other rotorcraft has the Brantly-designed outboard hinge on the main rotor blade that produces such an exceptionally smooth ride for a small helicopter.
