Aviation Record Breaker and Former Communications CEO Scott Kasprowicz departed today seeking to set a new around-the-world speed record in an AgustaWestland Grand helicopter
from Skycontrol by alain
New York, NY (August 7, 2008) – Pilot Scott Kasprowicz departed New York at approximately 3:00 am Thursday morning in an attempt to set a new speed record for an around-the-world helicopter flight; the goal is to complete the trip in under 14 days. The record setting flight dubbed "The Grand Adventure" is being attempted in Kasprowicz's twin engine, factory standard, executive configured AgustaWestland Grand helicopter. "In order to succeed in a trip like this, you need an aircraft like the Grand that has above average fuel efficiency and exceptional reliability," said Kasprowicz who is the former CEO of Texel Corporation. "What will make this record setting flight even more meaningful is the fact that we will make the trip in a factory standard aircraft that has not been specially outfitted or modified for this kind of application." Unlike previous flights to break the world helicopter speed record, no additional fuel tanks or mission specific modifications have been added to the AgustaWestland Grand aircraft to improve performance.
