The Ansat is a civilian helicopter with a maximum take-off weight of 3.3 tonnes and has a 9-person passenger capacity (plus 1-person crew). The helicopter’s key advantages are its simple piloting, in-flight safety, low environmental impact and superior fuel efficiency. The Ansat comes in a variety of configurations for use by transport and cargo companies, medical and emergency services as well as police and other law-enforcement agencies. Upon the client’s request the helicopter can be equipped with the latest fly by wire technologies, or with the classic hydraulic control system. Powered by a dual-engine system, the aircraft boasts excellent in flight performance.

The second helicopter highlighted at the exhibit – the Ka-226T – is Russian Helicopters latest aircraft using the coaxial (dual-rotor) rotor system, using the French-made Arrius 2G1 engines (Turbomeca) and Russian-made VR-226N gearbox. This is the first model in which Arrius engines have been used in coaxial rotor system. This technical solution provides the Ka-226T with unprecedented flight safety: even in the case of the technical failure of one engine, the helicopter still has more than sufficient power (up to 750 hp) to maneuver. The cutting-edge rotor power system combined with a special reinforced fuel-supply system and energy-absorbing seats make this helicopter one of the most environmentally friendly and safest in its class. The Ka-226T’s range of features and capabilities mean it can be used for a broad range of potential applications: in difficult to access and high-elevation localities, in hot climates and in naval missions, as well as in urban conditions such as skyscraper construction and gusty wind situations.

Visitors to the Russian Helicopters exhibit stand will have the opportunity to learn about all Russian-produced helicopter models, which span a broad range of missions and capabilities.
