The helicopter is equipped with the most modern rescue equipment, such as an electric winch, an infrared camera and a fire extinguishing system.
H130, another model presented at HeliRussia 2015, belongs to the group of companies "Heliports of Russia", which became the first owner of this new light helicopter in this country only six months after the first demonstration flight to the Russian audience. The helicopter is showcased in VIP configuration, with its interior customized according to the client’s demands. Thanks to its flight characteristics, low level of noise and vibration, excellent range of visibility and comfort this helicopter became popular all over Russia.
The company will also demonstrate a mock-up of its most advanced development – H160 helicopter. The first prototype of this aircraft was demonstrated March 2015, soon becoming one of the most discussed projects of the year. This was not just because of its futuristic design: the manufacturer registered 68 patents for unique engineering solutions throughout the development period
