The helicopter targets a fuel consumption reduction of approximately 20% when compared to current generation helicopters of the same class. It will achieve this through aerodynamic optimization and an innovative eco-mode propulsion system. The hybrid-electrical eco-mode system, developed with Safran Helicopter Engines, allows one of the two Aneto-1X engines to be paused while in cruise flight, thus contributing to cutting CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0B58DDMP7\" data-aawp-product-id=\"118964\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Remote Control Helicopter SYMA S107H-E Aircraft Toy with Altitude Hold One Key TakeOff\/Landing 3.5 Channel High&amp;Low Speed LED Light Fly Indoor for Kid Boy Beginner 16min 2 Battery Green UPGRADE\">\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51ookBZnIbL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Remote Control Helicopter, SYMA S107H-E Aircraft Toy with Altitude Hold, One Key TakeOff\/Landing, 3.5...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Remote Control Helicopter, SYMA S107H-E Aircraft Toy with Altitude Hold, One Key TakeOff\/Landing, 3.5&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>16 minutes flight time &amp; 2 speed: RC helicopter provides two rechargeable batteries and 2 speeds to choose from.
