Enstrom Helicopters unveiled the TH-180 two seat piston trainer program in 2014. Flying on February 13, 2016, the first machine was introduced to the public at HAI Heli-Expo 2015. During testing N180TH suffered a loss of power on February 12, 2016 when bolts on a torque meter (installed to gather test data) sheared, separating the engine from the drive train. It was severely damaged during the forced landing on a residential street. Two further TH-180s would continue development until the company paused the program in 2018.
