Russian Helicopters Showcase Commercial Helicopters at Mexico Aerospace Fair
Russian Helicopters took part in the international exhibition Mexico’s Aerospace Fair 2015, which ran from 22 to 25 April, at Military Airbase No. 1, located in Santa Lucía, Mexico. At the event, Russian Helicopters showcased its latest commercial helicopters and update regional partners on plans for developing its maintenance and service centre provision.
The latest Mi-8/17 helicopters were showcased at the exhibition in a variety of configurations – including the VIP model. This series has, for years, taken a leading position among medium helicopters and is a success in both its commercial and military variants. High flight capabilities, reliability, multi-functionality, all-weather operability, ease of use and maintenance are key qualities that have earned it the trust of operators worldwide.
Visitors to Mexico’s Aerospace Fair 2015 also had the opportunity to review upcoming developments from Russian Helicopters – the light Ka-226T and multirole Mi-171A2. The Ka-226T is a light multirole helicopter, which can be operated in dense urban areas and in mountainous locations. The Ka-226T is fitted with powerful, efficient Turbomeca Arrius 2G1 engines and the latest avionics. It boasts a low noise level and meets the latest environmental requirements. In March 2015, Russian Helicopters’ received AR IAC certification for the Ka-226T, a modernised version of the previously certified Ka-226. Certification of this new light helicopter model opens up broader commercial opportunities for Russian Helicopters.
The Mi-171A2, created on the basis of the Mi-8/17 series, combining that rich operational history with the latest technological developments. The Mi-171A2 can be operated in high mountainous areas, hot and tropical climates, extreme temperatures, and very dusty environments. It does not need to be kept in a hangar for storage or maintenance. Russian Helicopters launched flight tests on the Mi-171A2 in November 2014.
Mexico’s Armed Forces and Police operate Mi-8/17 military transport helicopters, which are known for their universality, endurance, resilience, and ease of use.
Mexico is home to a major service centre for the maintenance of Russian-made helicopters, and Russian Helicopters is looking at expanding its maintenance centre operations in the country. Providing high-quality maintenance and aftersales service worldwide is a key priority for Russian Helicopters, as it plans to further develop its global network in line with the highest current international standards.
