The Olme ("Elm" in French) was the first helicopter designed by a SFR-based company. Designed during the Nova Evropan War taking hints from captured enemy rotorcraft, the Olme only entered service after the war proper had ended. This company set a trend in early SFR helicopters of being named after samara-bearing plants. Fundamentally a training, observation and utility aircraft, Olmes were also equipped as light bombers due to their accuracy, albeit actually fielding them as such was rare apart from sporadic use against Nova Evropan remnants.

Out of all the early SFR helicopters, the Olme's low cost, easy maintenance in spite of using coaxial rotors and versatiliy made it by far the most successful early SFR aircraft, not only maintaining production for decades in ever more refined variants but also being the backbone of the SFR's rotorcraft industry. The coaxial arrangement was picked to maximize the amount of lift that could be attained with the 250-ish hp engines almost universal to this period.
