Russian Helicopters will present the primary prototype of the hot medium multirole Ka-62 on the MAKS International Aviation & Space Salon, which gets underway on August 27 within the Moscow Region town of Zhukovsky.
The helicopter was built on the Company’s manufacturing plant inside the town of Arsenyev in Russia’s Far East, and has already arrived on the Gromov Flight Research and Development Institute aerodrome, where it’ll be based before enjoying the exhibition as portion of Russian Helicopters’ static display.
The Ka-62 is the primary helicopter that Russian Helicopters has created in international co-operation with European partners who worked on individual components. The Ka-62 is fitted with the most recent Ardiden 3G engines made by France’s Turbomeca, which meet the best environmental and fuel-efficiency standards. The engines’ dual-channel FADEC system ensures reliability and simplicity of operation.
Another French company, Zodiac Aerospace, an international leader in aviation systems, has supplied the helicopter’s fuel system. As well, the transmission have been made by Austrian firm Zoerkler, which has many years’ experience and the advanced technologies essential to engineer high-precision drives and gears.
The Ka-62 is provided with the most recent avionics system including a pitcher cockpit developed by Russian company Transas and a navigation system that supports GPS and GLONASS. In future it could also add support for Galileo, the satellite navigation system being developed by the ecu and European Space Agency in collaboration with China, Israel, South Korea, Ukraine and Russia.
The primary customer for the Ka-62 is Brazilian company Atlas Taxi Aereo, which has placed an order for seven of the helicopters. The first consignment is planned for use in offshore work for Brazilian national oil company Petrobras.
