The Famà Kiss 209M is an Italian ultralight[1] two-seat helicopter, built from composite materials around a steel frame and with an optional retractable undercarriage.
The design targets were low cost and easy maintenance, combined with a comfortable cabin and good performance.
The centre section and the high-set tail boom are tube steel structures, clad in carbon fibre.
A narrow pair of tailplanes is located forward of the tail rotor on the boom, though the prototype initially flew with a T-tail.
The first production aircraft completed company testing at the end of January 2011 and went to the Aéro-Club de France for a six-month evaluation.
