Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has displayed a full-scale mock-up of its Indian Multirole Helicopter (IMRH) proposition at Aero India 2017.
The twin engine platform is in its preliminary design phase and two versions are planned in the transport configuration. The troop configuration will have a seating for 24, while the VIP transport version will seat 18 with a cabin volume of 23 cubic metres.
A HAL company representative told Jane's , "HAL intends to fast-track development of this platform and we plan to release an RFI for the 3,000-shp-class twin engines before July this year. Initially it will be aimed at the Indian Air Force and even Indian Army requirements, while a naval variant is also planned."
The 12.5 tonne IMRH will have a service ceiling of 21,320 ft and a payload of 3,500 kg. The maximum speed for the platform is expected to be 230 km/h with a maximum range of 500 km - this will be extended to 800 km with external fuel tanks.
