Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said during a visit to the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant that he expects next year to complete work on import substitution of the Ka-226 helicopter’s propulsion system. TASS reported.
“I expect next year airworthiness certificates and commissioning of a new model – as you promised, with an import-substituted unit – serially,” Mishustin outlined the task.
In 2024, ODK-Klimov plans to certify new small helicopter engines – VK-650V for Ansat and Ka-226 helicopters and VK-1600V for Ka-62.
The Ka-226 helicopter is designed to carry cargo, passengers and service personnel, patrol economic zones, monitor, perform search and rescue and medical evacuation missions. The helicopter has a coaxial rotor pattern, which provides good controllability at the most extreme altitudes in rarefied air conditions, resistance to strong side winds, high rate of climb, and the ability to take off and land on sites located at high altitudes.
