Arrow Falcon by Edgefield Manufacturing is the engineering and production arm of Edgefield Aviation, focused on advancing and sustaining the Bell OH-58 series and similar light turbine rotorcraft. Operating under Type Certificate H22NM, Arrow Falcon is one of the only facilities in the nation capable of converting public-use and experimental OH-58 aircraft into FAA Restricted Category rotorcraft—turning grounded airframes into reliable, revenue-producing machines.

We specialize in breathing new life into military surplus and legacy helicopters through engineering, certification, and field-ready modification.
