Russian Helicopters Showcases Commercial and Military Helicopters at Aero India 2015

Russian Helicopters (part of State Corporation Rostec) is taking part in the international air show Aero India 2015, which runs from 18 to 22 February in Bangalore, India. At the exhibition, Russian Helicopters showcases the latest Russian-made commercial and military helicopters.

"India is a key market for the Russian helicopter-building industry, and the largest operator of Russian-made helicopters in the region," said Russian Helicopters CEO Alexander Mikheev, who is heading the State Corporation Rostec delegation. "We are planning to develop multilateral cooperation and are pleased to be able to showcase our new projects at this exhibition. In particular, the Ka-226T, which boasts a wealth of advantageous features."

The Ka-226T is a light, twin-engine multirole, coaxial helicopter. It underwent testing in India during the helicopter tender was cancelled by the Indian authorities last year. The helicopter easily out-performed competitors produced by Western companies during flights in India's hot climate and mountainous areas.
The Ka-226T with Turbomeca Arrius 2G1 engines can be used in search-and-rescue, patrol or landing operations. Its ease of handling and latest avionics means that this helicopter is easy to manoeuvre in mountainous areas or built-up urban centres.
