Schweizer, manufacturer of the proven Schweizer S300C, S300CBi, and S333 helicopters, is pleased to announce it has received FAA approval for its Crash Resistant Fuel System (CRFS). The tanks are available for installation on all new S300 series helicopters. Both main and auxiliary CRFSs are approved and fully comply with applicable 14CFR27 regulations. The tanks are comprised of a proprietary rubber puncture resistant internal fuel bladder mounted inside a carbon fiber external shell. Each tank holds 32.5 gallons (123 liters) of fuel for a dual tank capacity of 65 gallons (246 liters). Since restarting production of the iconic Schweizer 300C and 300CBi helicopters in 2021, Schweizer has worked to bring the aircraft up to date with all applicable regulatory requirements currently in effect since production ceased under the former ownership.

I used to be involved with the 300 a long time ago. Sikorsky almost killed the 300 with their terrible lack of support. How are things now?
