2023: Product Announcement
In August 2023, the Ka-226T modular helicopter was presented in Russia - it can be cargo, passenger and rescue. The novelty was created by the Russian Helicopters holding.
According to the developers, thanks to the modular design in airfield conditions, the helicopter can be quickly converted into a passenger, cargo, sanitary or search and rescue version by replacing one module with another. Moreover, transformation can take only half an hour.
The upgraded machine is adapted for flights in the mountains and above the water surface. The height of the application has grown by almost a kilometer - up to 6500 m above sea level. Lightweight materials are used in the fuselage of the helicopter, an accident-resistant fuel system is installed, which increases the level of safety for pilots and passengers. The Ka-226T is equipped with a new complex of pilot-navigation and radio communication equipment, which reduces the load on pilots and increases the controllability of the aircraft. In addition, due to the increase in the volume of fuel tanks, the range of the car has increased.
 | This beautiful car continues to improve. The design documentation for the new import-substituted modification Ka-226T is being issued. At the same time, the design is carried out exclusively in digital format. This allows you to achieve increased accuracy in calculations and quickly launch the aircraft into a series. Outwardly, the helicopter will remain the same - it will change its technical appearance - the composition of the systems, - said Anton Korolev, deputy general director of the Russian Helicopters holding for sales of helicopter equipment. |  |
By mid-August 2023, the National Center for Helicopter Engineering named after M.L. Mile and N.I. Kamov Holding "Helicopters of Russia" conducts static tests of the components and assemblies of the machine. It is planned that new engines VK-650V domestic development and production will arrive in the third quarter of 2023 for adaptation and testing by helicopter.[1]
