Introducing the MD Super D20B Helicopter: A New Chapter for the Iconic 500D

MD Helicopters is breathing new life into the legendary MD 500D with the all-new Super D20B — the first in a series of performance upgrades for the company’s global legacy fleet.

With longer blades, a reconfigured empennage, and a 350-lb increase in max gross weight — all without an engine swap — the Super D20B proves you can teach an old helicopter new tricks.

In this video, MD’s president and CEO, Ryan Weeks, shares what makes this customer-driven upgrade a game-changer for D-model operators, and how MD is reasserting itself as an OEM that listens, innovates, and delivers.
