Russian Helicopters will present the light multi-role Ka-32A11BC in the fire-fighting configuration used across Europe to combat wildfires during the summer months, as well as the advanced multi-role Mi-38 and Ka-62 and the new Mi-171A2 – the overhauled latest version of the world’s most popular helicopter, the Mi-8/17. The company can be found in Pavilion 1 at Stand 1305.

Ka-32A11BCs are already on duty fighting fires, maintaining public order and flying medevac missions in disaster areas in numerous countries around the world. In Europe, the Ka-32A11BC is used in Spain, Portugal and Switzerland, and beyond. It was certificated by the EASA in 2009.
     
The multi-role Ka-62 made its debut on the global commercial market at the Farnborough International Airshow in July 2012. Created using the latest technologies and materials, the Ka-62 is a single-rotor design, with an enclosed multi-bladed tail rotor. It is designed for corporate use, as well as search-and-rescue and air-ambulance operations, and can also be used in the oil-and-gas sector.

The new Mi-38 is a next-generation transport and passenger helicopter capable of carrying up to 30 people or loads of as much as 7 tons at standards of safety and comfort that are among the best in its class. Two prototypes have already been made – the OP-1, using TV7-117V engines, and the OP-2, with engines by Pratt & Whitney – and a third is currently in the process of assembly. Certification of the Mi-38 is planned for 2014.
