The power plant will equip the Mi-34M1, Ansat, and Ka-226

The power plant was developed at the "UEC-Klimov" enterprise in St. Petersburg

The power plant received a type certificate at the end of 2024

The take-off weight of the rotorcraft is up to 3.6 tons

Rotary-wing aircraft will begin assembly at the Kazan Helicopter Plant

The helicopter will increase its flight range from 505 km to 660 km

ODK designers took only 5 years to develop the VK-650V

The new power plant significantly improves the performance of the rotorcraft

The certificate awarding ceremony took place at the ODK-Klimov enterprise in St. Petersburg

Characteristics of Russian aviation developments, in particular, the MC-21 and Superjet, are on par with foreign ones

At Perm Polytechnic, a model of a small power plant capable of operating in the range of 45–60 kW has been created

The engine is scheduled to enter mass production in 2025, but the timing of the start of mass production of the Mi-34M1 is still unknown

The equipment is already being prepared for a series of tests

VK-650V is the first fully Russian helicopter engine in the power class up to 750 hp

After bench and ground tests, the first flight awaits them
