Medium-lift helicopter Mi-38 completes certification tests, reports MIC with reference to Interfax-AVN. "



“The type certificate for the Mi-38 helicopter will be received in December of this year. A certificate of category “B” will be received on the Mi-38, which allows the implementation of air transportation, ”an informed source told the agency.

“A number of complex certification tests have already been completed, the main gearbox has successfully passed the 1,4 overload test,” he said.

“The windshield, the swashplate thrust, the blades were fired at" bird carcasses, "said the source.

According to him, "today it remains to complete about 90 tasks from approximately 300 tasks provided by the certification program."

The interlocutor noted that “the TV38-7V engines developed by OAO Klimov are installed on the Mi-117”.

“It is expected that by December of the current year the engine resource will be increased by Klimov to 1 thousand hours with the subsequent transition of the resource“ as ”.”

The first flight of the Mi-38 took place at 2003. Currently, there are 4 prototype machines. It was originally intended to equip the helicopter with American-made PW127TS engines. However, the United States stopped their delivery to the Russian Federation.

    Along the way, the topic of engines. Interestingly, Boeing is now not very sad that he gave so many bribes to Russian air transportation companies for the purchase of their air junk? Indeed, under sanctions it can not be thrown off to Russia. Finally, will our Tu and Dry fly?

      No! Trash will be dumped ... At the last MAKS, a representative of the "watermelon" said that in 10 years, the number of foreign aircraft operated in Russia will double and reach about 1500 units ...

        One wish, but they are unlikely to succeed in sanctioning us. In the same topic
        The Premier of the State Council of the PRC Li Keqiang, speaking on Thursday, September 10, at the "Annual Summit of New Champions", said that the Chinese international payment system CIPS will be launched before the end of 2015.

          So it happened that there is no PrattWhitney, but no TV7-117V. Only in 2015 and began to turn in the direction of production. Huge plans - 50 engines until 2019. This is for 25 cars only. Sadly ...

        Everything is right and for your own military-industrial complex and defense capability is more useful, except for this phrase,
        "Initially, it was planned to equip the helicopter with American-made PW127TS engines. However, the United States stopped supplying them to Russia."
        the question arises: - "Why was the US not afraid that Russia would stop supplying rocket engines to the US?"

      There are few of their own engines, unfortunately Klimovtsy are just setting up TV7-117V.

      all right, so he has more export potential, and the customer himself can choose which engine

      Indeed, when delivering for export, a frequent requirement of a foreign customer is the localization of engine service in the operating country. Pratt & Whitney seems to have fewer problems with this than the Klims.

    It is interesting that the input devices of the engines are "camouflaged", the AHP struts on the top, and even the "ears" are whipped up. And the chassis seems to be retracted. Is the HF cable antenna also missing something? A battle for speed? In general, the bird is cute.

    But a pretty machine, after all. Although it is still visible that this is MI, it looks quite modern. I read the TTX - everywhere a little better than MI-8, the main thing in reliability is not to concede.

      A beautiful helicopter turned out ... and a beautiful technique - it flies well

      Yes, the helicopter is beautiful. However, about flying well - is there a question? Like a helicopter - no doubt flies, and for reliability, I think not bad. But on the quality of use -?
      The author writes:
      The Mi-38 medium-duty helicopter completes certification tests ...

      However, the payload just leaves much to be desired. We need a competitor Chinook with a carrying capacity of 12-15 tons. And then it will be - of medium payload - between the Mi-8 and Mi-26.

    However, we continue to supply them with Antares rocket launchers. Oh, good we are! No.

    laughing Great news. A wonderful fashion was to shove the western dviglo everywhere. Recently mattress covers launched the Atlas rocket with our NK-33 engines. For military purposes, with a bunch of satellites. Keep it up, domestic defense industry! Money doesn't smell.

    Honestly, it would be better if the Ka-62 were brought to mind. This niche is empty, and in the middle there will be two helicopters at once. And what is the benefit of buying a Mi 38, if there is a Mi 8/17 cheaper and almost the same characteristics? Propellers and Engines can be supplied with Mi-8, a new gearbox from Mi-28 and a new helicopter.

      Duc and Mi-8/17 and Mi-38 are never "average", but the Ka-62 is generally a lightweight business jet-member. And how to bring it to mind if imported engines are designed for it and there are still many foreign components? And besides, they began to collect August in the Urals.

        Ka 60-62 is not light very light - 11-14 seats. A good army car turned out. We are driving the Mi-8 back and forth, and more than half of the flights would have landed on the Ka60. Take the Americans experience.

    Yes, the project has a difficult story. Perhaps, by his example, one can trace the history of the entire aviation industry in Russia.
    The project originated in the USSR, in 1981 (!). Then it was positioned as a modernization of the Mi-8 in the interests of civilian consumers. Its first designation was Mi-8 M
    The first “blow” to the project was the collapse of the Soviet Union — the termination of cooperation ties and the general economic situation began to significantly slow down the implementation of the project.
    At the same time, it was the Mi-38 that became one of the first examples of international cooperation in the aircraft industry - in 1994, a joint venture was created with the Eurocopter concern (Euromile). Although I do not have a simple attitude towards partnership with Western companies at a time when Russian developers literally revealed themselves to foreign partners. ... but the fact remains
    Then a new economic crisis and exit from the project of the engine developer of the Plant named after Klimova.
    And in the end - the collapse of the joint venture and the exit of Eurocopter from the partnership. In fairness, it must be said that the reason for this decision was the innovation of Russian legislation, which prohibited foreign partners from owning more than 25% in aircraft manufacturing companies. I don’t presume to say it is good or bad, especially from today's points of view ...
    A separate story with the change of engines proposed for the Mi-38. If sequentially: helicopter modifications TV7-117 - projected TV-3000 - helicopter modifications PW-127 - and again TV7-117.
    So the car is suffering, I really want her to succeed !!

    The fact of the matter is that there are still problems with their engines. And the same Canadian engines put on ANSAT, which is also not good. But apparently so far it’s different.
