The MD 600N is a light single-turbine engine helicopter from MD Helicopters. The Mesa, Arizona based helicopter manufacturer traces its roots back to 1955 when it was established as a rotorcraft division of Howard Hughes established Hughes Aircraft company. The helicopter business was sold to McDonnell Douglas in 1984 prior to becoming part of The Boeing Company in 1997. In 1999 Boeing decided to maintain the Military product line including the successful AH-64 Apache and sell the commercial product line creating what will become an independent MD Helicopters company.

The MD 600N developed as an eight-seat stretched version of the MD 520N completed its first flight on November 22, 1994, prior to entering service in 1997. The MD 600N design incorporated a new fully articulated six-blade main rotor driven by a single Rolls-Royce Model 250 turboshaft engine.

The MD600N design is highly appraised for its ground safety thanks to the NOTAR® anti-torque system that replace the typical spinning tail rotor. The NOTAR (NO Tail Rotor) technology also allows for external noise reduction and reduced pilot workload. The flight deck features a Garmin G500TXi MFD/PFD and an engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS).
