Russian Helicopters Launches 3D Modelling App

Russian Helicopters (part of State Corporation Rostec) has launched a 3D modelling app for computers with Windows or Mac OS.

The app makes it possible for people to find out more about the range of models available from Russian Helicopters, and also to go on virtual tours, including one of a VIP helicopter.

The configuration app is built like a 3D construction kit and makes it possible to 'assemble' a unique model meeting each user's individual requirements. Every model can be enhanced with the specific equipment and functions the user requires. The system makes it possible to quickly and easily review the helicopters' parameters and capabilities, and to explore its systems and components.

"The app is an excellent tool, which enables potential customers to independently review the different possible configurations of the various different models of Russian-made helicopters," said Head of Russian Helicopters CEO Administration Yury Kaptelkin. "In addition, it makes it possible to carry out a presentation efficiently, not only with a view to selling the product, but for educational purposes, interesting young people in the helicopter industry."

On Windows, the new app can be downloaded from Russian Helicopters' official website. Just click on the model of helicopter that interests you and then click 'download for Windows'. The app is also available free of charge at Google Play. An iPad app will soon be available via App Store.

The Russian Helicopters website also features new Production Technology content, which offers an overview of the latest technologies employed in the production of systems and components for modern helicopters. After selecting the technology that is of interest, the online platform 'takes' the user to the enterprise where it is used. The online visual archive (comprising photos and videos) then offers a detailed insight into how helicopters are built - from the production of individual components to the final assembly.
