Status Production completed (2017)

The Winner B150 is a Belgian helicopter that was designed and produced by Winner SBS of Dinant. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly-aircraft or as a kit for amateur construction.[1]

Design and development

The B150 was designed to comply with the French CNSK rules. It features a single main rotor and tail rotor, a two-seats-in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit with a bubble windshield, skid landing gear and a 160 hp (119 kW) Solar T62T-32 turboshaft engine.[1]

The aircraft fuselage is made from aluminum and composites. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of 7.67 m (25.2 ft) and a chord of 19 cm (7.5 in). The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 400 kg (882 lb) and a gross weight of 700 kg (1,543 lb), giving a useful load of 300 kg (661 lb). With full fuel of 165 litres (36 imp gal; 44 US gal) the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage is 157 kg (346 lb).[1]

Reviewer Werner Pfaendler, describes the design as providing "easy and fun flying".[1]

Production of the B150 was suspended due to deficiencies in the Solar T62 powerplant. The company said, "it was decided to abandon the Solar T62 turbine; this second-hand power source appeared to be obsolete, difficult to find in a proper condition and with limited performance". Instead the company redesigned the airframe to accept a 200 hp (149 kW) piston engine as the B200 and also a 250 hp (186 kW) TS100 turboshaft engine as the B250.[2]
