In Kazan, preparations are underway for the production of the Mi-34 helicopter, announced Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. The rotary-wing aircraft is intended to replace light general-purpose helicopters of foreign production, including Airbus and Bell.
According to Minnikhanov, the Kazan Helicopter Plant (KVZ, part of the Rostec State Corporation) has already completed the modernization of the main production shops and ensured the transition of the Ansat helicopter to a Russian engine.
KVZ is preparing to release a new product – the Mi-34 helicopter. I note that this year the enterprise was awarded the Order of the Russian Federation 'For Valiant Labor'.
He emphasized that in 2025, the main industrial facilities will be commissioned, which will also create conditions for the serial production of Tu-214 aircraft.
The Mi-34 was developed as a light training and sports helicopter. The prototype made its flight in 1986. After the collapse of the USSR, the project was frozen.
Estimated Characteristics of the Mi-34:
- Length — 8.8 m (excluding rotors)
- Height — 2.75 m
- Maximum takeoff weight — 1450 kg
- Speed — 200 km/h
- Practical ceiling — 4000 m
- Flight range — 349 km
In the 2000s, interest in the Mi-34 was revived in the Russian Helicopters holding, even leading to the creation of the Mi-34S1 modification, but in 2012 the project was closed again.
