The stages of the preliminary design of the new Russian helicopter NV.17 have been completed. Currently, the development of the rotorcraft is at the stage of technical design.
According to data from open sources, high flight performance is planned to be achieved through the use of a hybrid power plant, electromechanical transmission, electric power actuators, and a combined control system on the helicopter.
The prospective helicopter, with a supply of fuel in the main fuel tanks, will be able to stay in the air for up to 7 hours, and the speed parameters will allow, for example, to cover a distance of 50 km in just 7 minutes.
To perform fire support tasks, suspension units with unguided rockets are provided. The landing gear struts retract during flight.
