Technical Performance
The BLH-1705 battery tray represents genuine Blade engineering designed specifically for the Fusion 700 helicopter platform. Carbon fibre has been selected as the primary material for its outstanding strength-to-weight characteristics, which are essential in helicopter applications where every fraction of a gram impacts flight performance, battery life, and overall stability.
