Russian Helicopters delivered Kazan-made Mi-8MTV-1 helicopters to KhMAO-Yugra

20 June 2017, Tuesday

The Russian Helicopters handed over to the customer two Mi-8MTV-1 helicopters manufactured by the Kazan Helicopters under the contract with Skol Airlines. The contract for aircraft delivery was signed in late December 2016; the helicopters were assembled at the Kazan Helicopters in 6 months’ time.

New aircraft will be used in Surgut for both passenger and cargo transportation. The Mi-8MTV-1 multipurpose transport helicopter has unique performance and operational characteristics. The helicopter can be used in almost all climatic zones. The design and the equipment of the Mi-8MTV-1 helicopter allow operations with autonomous deployment from unprepared ground areas. The helicopter can be equipped with an external load sling system for transporting oversize cargo.

Mi-8MTV-1 is a medium helicopter with improved performance characteristics, based on the Mi-8T. The new modification fundamentally differs from its predecessor with a more powerful power plant package, which comprises two gas turbine engines TV3-117VM and a main gearbox VR-14. Each engine is rated at 2200 hp. Its maximum external load is up to 4 tonnes and depends on flight range, altitude of landing pads above sea level, air temperature, and other factors.
