Russian helicopters has signed a contract with the Ministry of defense for the supply of two Mi-38 helicopters

Russian Helicopters has signed a contract with the Russian defense Ministry for the supply of two Mi-38 helicopters with a high-comfort cabin. The signing ceremony was held at the international military-technical forum "Army-2020 "in the Patriot Park near Moscow.
"Our customers' interest in the Mi-38 confirms the correctness of the chosen concept, in which it occupies an intermediate segment between the Mi-26 and Mi-8. The defense Ministry has already sent two transport and landing of Mi-38T who undergo trial operation in the army, and I am sure that the civil version of the helicopter will also be popular thanks to the outstanding characteristics of the vehicles, capacity and flight safety", — said General Director of holding "Helicopters of Russia" Andrey Boginsky.
The first production mi-38 helicopter was first presented to the public during the MAKS-2019 international aviation and space salon, where Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Tayyip Recep Erdogan got acquainted with it. The Mi-38 made its international debut at the Dubai Airshow 2019, where Russian industry and trade Minister Denis Manturov demonstrated the helicopter to the crown Prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan.
In February 2020, the first production Mi-38 helicopter with a high-comfort cabin was transferred to Gazprombank Leasing.
The mi-38 is designed according to a single-screw scheme and is equipped with a two-engine power plant. It is produced at the Kazan helicopter plant. The helicopter is equipped with two TV7-117 b engines of domestic production, equipped with dust-proof devices with a high degree of air purification.
The main structural elements of the Mi-38 fuselage are made of aluminum alloys, individual components and parts are made of steel, titanium and composite materials. The advanced six-blade main rotor design provides high thrust and low vibration. The blades are equipped with an anti-icing system, and the X-shaped tail rotor gives the helicopter excellent handling at a low noise level.
The mi-38 is equipped with a modern flight navigation system and satellite navigation system. To display information, five color multifunction liquid crystal displays are included in the cockpit instrumentation. The range of the new Mi-38 helicopter in the transport configuration is up to 1200 kilometers (with additional fuel tanks). With a maximum take-off weight of 15.6 tons, the helicopter is able to take on Board or on an external suspension of 5 tons of payload.
