Designing light multipurpose aircraft model NADC NA-40 Bongo started in the Czech aircraft manufacturers 1994 year. The main reason to start development served as an attempt to compete with foreign aircraft manufacturers in the field of light and ultra-light aircrafts rotary wing type, with the project expected to be realized over 6 years, while the aircraft performance parameters of the aircraft, as well as the price, should have become quite competitive.

The relatively light and compact design of the NADC NA-40 Bongo helicopter provides this aircraft with a high flight speed and good maneuverability, which actually allows this aircraft to be used as a sports vehicle, although in fact, the helicopter does not apply to this area of ​​application.

The first flight of NADC NA-40 Bongo helicopter took place in 1998 year, which in fact means that Czech aircraft manufacturers managed to shorten the development time, and this not only had an impact on reducing the cost of the aircraft of this model, but also provided the helicopter with high competition, so As a matter of fact, a two-year period led to a great popularization of this model. In view of the fact that the design of the aircraft was carefully designed and the technical part was optimized for simplicity of management and to ensure higher reliability, the NADC NA-40 Bongo helicopter coped very successfully with all the necessary test tests, and therefore the project Was sent to mass production, where, according to the data for 2016 year, continued to be.

Issue model helicopters NADC NA-40 Bongo is carried out exclusively as individual kits designed for self-assembly, and, commonality of parts and assemblies allows you to collect the aircraft within just 200-220 hours.
