The first AW139 helicopters manufactured by the Russian-Italian Helivert joint venture will be released this yearThe first AW139 helicopters produced by the Russian-Italian joint venture Helvert will be released this year.

About this at the 5-th International Helicopter Industry Exhibition "HeliRasha-2012" in the metropolitan exhibition center "Crocus Expo" said the general director of the holding "Helicopters of Russia" Dmitry Petrov.

"The first assembly kit will be delivered at the HeliVert joint venture in Tomilino, near Moscow, created by the holding and the Anglo-Italian company AgustaWestland, in late May. This year we will launch the first helicopter, and not just one "he said.

The acquisition of AgustaWestland 50 percent by Helevert JV was approved by the government foreign investment commission in early May. The agreement on the establishment of the joint venture was signed by partners in the summer of 2011.

Information about the first AW139 customers of the Russian assembly was not disclosed, however, sources close to the joint venture claim that today there are more than 5 customers for these helicopters. One of them, in particular, plans to transfer 10 of its AW139 to the operation of UTair.

    Well, why does Russia need this?
    There are enough of your own good helicopters - it’s better to launch your own in mass production!

      Our turntables are the best in the world, fact. angry But there is a problem and a very long-standing problem - electronic filling. We can solve it ourselves and we will always be catching up. And we can and learn - which is very good. fool
      This enterprise is a good platform for training and further implementation.

        Yes, we do not have scientific problems on electronic stuffing !!!!!!!
        Everything is artificial! OUR scientists are now creating a device for the construction of the architecture of transistors - at 17 nm then the process obtained by means of flash of tin vapors. No one has canceled Gagarin Avenue in Nizhny Novgorod either. They have this element base and the west sticks out. Moreover, "Italy, highly developed in elemental production" !!!
        Your crap is Italy.
        Everything to get into Europe with your head.

      To assemble a constructor is a cooperation?
      His need to support.
      These are taxes and jobs.
      And if, together with allies, count.

          AW139 helicopter, direct competitor to Ka-62, I'm afraid to play an engineer and quit.

            No, guys, I just skimmed over these AW-139-149-169-189 turntables, i.e. from 4,5-8 tons takeoff. So, if we compare the AW-139 with our Ka-62, then these are completely identical helicopters, even in terms of engine power of 1697 hp and 1680 hp, payload of 2778 kg and 2700 kg, respectively. Only, of course, the AW-139 has been produced since 2002, yes, we still operate light AW-109s, this is like our Ansat, so we slowly but surely began to catch up with this jet, not many countries deal with such an assortment of helicopters, this makes me happy. For our wallets it may work, but one thing is clear that the Ka-62 and Ansat will be much cheaper. If Rogozin brings the matter to the end, then the Italians and Angles will have a complete kikosis.



            AW 139 is the new designation of the previous helicopter of this family AB 139. It is a modern twin-engine helicopter of the latest generation, which has an energy-absorbing retractable landing gear, fuselage and seats that meet modern stringent safety standards. The cockpit provides excellent visibility for pilots.
            The passenger cabin has a significant volume and can accommodate up to 15 passengers. In the VIP configuration, passengers are accommodated with exceptional comfort. Large items can be carried in the luggage compartment.
            Designed to meet the highest safety requirements, the helicopter is equipped with two P&W PT6C-67C engines with a digital engine control system (FADEC). The Honeywell Primus Epic Digital Avionics delivers the ultimate in control efficiency and reliability. Today it is one of the most modern and efficient helicopters in the world.
