In the United States "Russian Helicopters" presented a modernized Mi-171А2

The Russian Helicopters' holding Helicopters of Russia, part of the United Industrial Corporation Oboronprom, in HeliExpo-2012, the helicopter industry exhibition Mi-171-X2, was presented at the industrial helicopter exhibition HeliExpo-XNUMX in Dallas. This rotary-wing machine is designed for the global market.

The Mi-171А2 helicopter is a deep upgrade of the Mi-8 / 17 - the most popular helicopter in the world.

The Mi-171А2 will be equipped with more powerful and economical engines, which will significantly increase the helicopter’s payload and range. The new carrier system, which is based on composite blades, enhanced transmission and X-shaped tail rotor will be the main changes that will be made as part of the modernization program of the helicopter, which is one of the main products of the company.

The integrated flight-navigation complex, which implements the principle of the "glass cabin", allows helicopter pilots to use multi-function liquid-crystal displays, providing much more information instead of conventional analog devices. This greatly simplifies piloting.

Russian Helicopters in the Mi-171А2 offer customers around 100 various innovations that improve flight performance, improve operational systems and reduce the cost of flight hours. This will allow buyers to increase the efficiency of operation of helicopters.

State and commercial operators of the Mi-8 / 17 helicopters took part in forming the requirements for the car. They were invited to work on a project to replace the Mi-8 / 17 modification with a single new and modern helicopter.

The delivery of serial certified Mi-171A2 will begin in 2014 year. The Mi-171А2 helicopter will be certified according to ARMAC and similar standards in other regions and countries.

Mi-171A2 helicopter developed by Moscow Helicopter Plant named after M.L. Mile ”, which is included in the“ Russian Helicopters ”. The machine is being developed on the basis of the Mi-171A1 helicopter, which is produced by Ulan-Ude aviation factory". The Mi-171A1 helicopter is certified by ARMAC and STA Brazil. In addition, this machine is the most advanced in terms of safety in the Mi-8/17 family.

Miles made a good helicopter; he watched on TV what he had made this helicopter in secret from the party (he took grandmas to upgrade the old helicopter, but made a new one).

[Helen]

Mi-8 is a flying Kalashnikov assault rifle

[Boba]

IMHO: Rather, the flying Urals.
Kalashnikov is MI24 / 35

[sanyarusian]

whatever weapons we have, so the most popular in the world, oh well done

[Cripple cross]

We always have technology, especially military, was ahead of the rest. Even at the time of devastation, unique things were created (only in limited quantities). I hope that now that we have realized that we need to develop the military-technical industry, we will get all our know-how from dusty shelves and begin to invent new and new technologies.

[Nymp]

Give a second life to the old man who conquered the world is certainly great! But why is the first show in America? They obviously will not rush with an application for serial purchase !? What would be annoying? How much honor? For me it would be better if they were pissed off by a demonstration of this excellent car in some kind of friendly country to us.

[vitvit123]

Well, there probably is not only and not quite an amer show. This is an exhibition. There will be many other (potential) customers.

[Born in USSR]

They are buying a batch for us from Afghanistan.

[Vashestambid]

This is to undermine the superiority of American helicopters !!

[Eugene]

It’s in vain that you, the United States have a promising market — they got to know our miles very tightly when they were delivered to Afghanistan, perhaps many companies involved in cargo transportation will buy them.

So, by the way, motorcycles Iz, Ural and Java in some states have the status of rarities and air pollution standards do not apply to them) so the amers respect our technology.

[Nymp]

Thanks Eugene about motorcycles I hear for the first time, honestly did not know that the Yankees respect them! That's just they do not want to respect themselves!

[gor]

only the problem is that these motorcycles are copies of German motorcycles from the Second World War. Tell me that the boxer engine was created in the union, not the Ferdinand Porsche and I will laugh))))))))))))))))))

[Eugene]

In principle, you are right, but a couple of points:

an exact copy of the BMW oppoid was m-72, and even before the war, the Urals and Dnieper are variations on the theme, but that engine was the cornerstone. By the way, EMNIP except for the Urals and BMW there are no more opositors in the world. moreover, the joke is that both the Urals and the Dnieper have some design flaws that significantly interfere with life (old models did exactly), unless you climb in and go over / tune, but the joke is that they are different, these drawbacks

izh were copied, but changed greatly during evolution.

Java, in all honesty, Czechoslovak and Czech, but "almost ours")) but I don't really understand them ..

[Stanter]

Our motorcycles are bullshit, helicopters are another conversation.

[urzul]

NU Porsche at one time and worked with Togliatti, with 2108,2109,2199 the rear axle can be said Porsche did.

[gor]

it’s very interesting to know that there is a rear axle in these models. I didn’t know that frets starting from 8 all-wheel drive. I would like an article about this)))))))))

[VORON]

Great helicopter! he flies for many years, considering that even this modernization is far from the last.

[maksim]

if for decades the machine has established itself as reliable and safe, then why not breathe new life into it

[sergo0000]

I agree! The machine is reliable. In the north, it works instead of a bus. And accidents rarely happen, and this is mainly due to the human factor.

[aironfirst]

Mi-8, like Mi-24, are helicopters, the creation of which laid the potential for modernization for decades to come.
Kamov helicopters are also outstanding units.
and in general, the domestic helicopter industry never lagged behind the foreign one, sometimes thanks to the backlog that was laid back in the USSR

[dred]

It will be cool if the Americans themselves and adopted.

[gor]

their helicopters for the army, anolog hawks are armored from below and they have enough

[adoyl]

In our army, we would exchange all the old Mi-8 with the new Mi-171A2

[Lieutenant colonel]

And what kind of modification of the Mi-8 in the army do you want to change to the Mi-171A2? There are several modifications of this helicopter in the army and some modifications do not need to be changed - there are more and more of them. The named modification is a purely commercial project, devoid of some necessary qualities for the army.

[755962]

Reliable and proven device! Let amers for their ass do not worry when flying on it

[wolk71]

By the way, last year demand for it rose, but they wanted to almost withdraw from production. And the car is reliable.

[valery dv]

MI-8 is a very good helicopter. Certainly, Russians can and do create good equipment, but I don’t think that America will buy a certain amount, because they have a lot of the best helicopters.

[fktrctqxbr]

give an example, and of course the characteristics.

[ikrut]

In the Mi-8 class, they do not have the best in terms of price-quality-performance ratio. And in other classes we are almost on an equal footing with them. and in some places ahead. IMHO.

[valery dv]

Irkut, maybe you’re right, I served in aviation and I’m more interested in fighter jets. Russian helicopters may be the best in the world.

[Focuser]

Quote: ikrut

and in some places ahead

Yes! Mi-26 which drags Chinook in Afghanistan is especially effective in demonstrating this))

[Lieutenant colonel]

They have them, in principle, a wide variety - this is +, but in terms of reliability we are still in front.

A little more about "Russian Helicopters"

The successes of Russian helicopter engineering today are recognized worldwide. An analytical report prepared by the reputable consulting company Frost & Sullivan, Global Military Helicopter Market, says that in 2010 Russian Helicopters held the first place among the leading players in the global military helicopter market.
“So, last year the share of Russian military helicopters in the world market amounted to 23%, the second place was taken by the products of the American company Bell (21%), the third was divided by the European manufacturer Eurocopter and the American Sikorsky (both 15% each),” the document says.

The Russian helicopter industry has increased the volume of orders, currently their total amount is $ 18 billion, said Andrei Reus, Director General of Oboronprom United Industrial Corporation.
“Today we have“ firm ”orders for the supply of helicopters in the amount of about 18 billion dollars. This is taking into account a very large long-term state defense order, ”Reus told Interfax.

[domokl]

They chose an interesting place for the show ... if you sign at least one contract at the show now, it will practically mean the hegemony card in the Sikorsky helicopter market ... And a helicopter with 100% guarantee of quality and quantity ... Even a simple one, the only one in the world a helicopter whose prototype (MI-8) shot down an airplane in battle ... And by the number (though I’m not sure about the accuracy of the info) this was the most massive helicopter ... Well, what a day today .., no matter the news, the mood rises. ..

[Hyppopotut]

It doesn’t matter which exhibition to show. Important - what technique!

[suharev-52]

Our Russian helicopter school has always been and is considered one of the best. All the more disgusting are the facts of attempts by "effective" managers to implement some kind of foreign projects. It is high time to do a general cleansing of the top of the government, otherwise there are too many overt enemies of Russia in the government offices. So there is a desire to resurrect STALIN's grandfather, so that he cleaned these "Augean stables."

ETERNAL MACHINE

[Lieutenant colonel]

We would have a smaller helicopter than the Mi-8 and its modifications (8-12 people) and ,,,,,,,,. there are not enough helicopters in the army, not enough, ours, good ones ...

So it seems like the Ka-60 in this category is available. The truth is whether it was adopted and supplied to the troops, I don’t know, but it often flashes at exhibitions and air shows.

[Soldier dusty]

urzul,
For AvtoVAZ in Porsche, an engine was developed for 2108, 1,3 liters. And 1,5- this is already the Vazovtsy themselves strained ....))) and somehow we were able to design the rear beam ourselves, this is a fact.)))
