Hawker Aero GPU for every helicopter and turboprop
The Hawker Aero range starts every helicopter and turboprop model, in 26V and 28V versions. Find your aircraft below and see which GPU we recommend.
How to choose your GPU
Three questions are enough. If in doubt, tell us your aircraft and we will confirm the model.
1 · Voltage: 26V or 28V
Most aircraft use a 28V system: GPU 2880 or 28180. Aircraft with low over-voltage protection (AW139, Sikorsky S-76D, Pilatus PC-6 / PC-12, Phenom, Eclipse) need a 26V model: 2680 or 26180.
2 · Capacity: 92 Ah or 180 Ah
The 92 Ah models (18–19 kg) cover light and medium aircraft and are the easiest to carry. The 180 Ah models (34–35 kg, 5,500 A peak) are for medium and heavy aircraft or many starts per charge.
3 · More power: units in parallel
All models are modular: connect two or more units in parallel to double, triple… output and capacity. Parallel cable available as an option.

Frequently asked questions
Which helicopters and turboprops can a Hawker Aero GPU start?
All of them. The Hawker Aero range covers every helicopter and turboprop model, with 26V and 28V versions, from light helicopters such as the H125 or Bell 407 to the AW139, S-92, Super Puma or ATR 72.
Do I need a 26V or a 28V GPU?
Most aircraft use a 28V system (GPU 2880 or 28180). Aircraft whose over-voltage protection is no higher than 28.6 V (e.g. Pilatus PC-6 / PC-12) or 29.9 V (e.g. AW139, Sikorsky S-76D) need a 26V model (2680 or 26180).
92 Ah or 180 Ah?
The 92 Ah models (2680, 2880) weigh 18–19 kg and cover light and medium aircraft. The 180 Ah models (26180, 28180) give 5,500 A peak and more starts per charge for medium and heavy aircraft.
Can I connect several GPUs together?
Yes. All Hawker Aero GPUs are modular: two or more units connected in parallel double, triple… the output and capacity, and you can still use each unit separately. The parallel cable is an optional extra.
My aircraft is not on the list. Is it compatible?
Almost certainly: the list shows only the most common models. Tell us your aircraft and we will reply in writing within 24–48 h with the right model.
