Russian Helicopters Receives Green Light to Commence Production of Ansat Aurus

Russian Helicopters has received approval from Rosaviatsiya to start producing the Ansat helicopters equipped with the Aurus cabin.

Certification tests, aimed at assessing the performance of equipment in the cabin and the electromagnetic compatibility with avionics, were successfully completed earlier this month.

The cabin layout consists of two seats for VIPs and three seats for accompanying passengers.

The Ansat Aurus Design design project was carried out by specialists of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NAMI, a leading Russian scientific organization in the field of automotive development, and a designer and manufacturer of a line of luxury cars under the Aurus brand.

The first demonstration Ansat helicopter in the Aurus design was held at the static exposition of Russian Helicopters as part of MAKS-2019 air show. During the show, the model was examined by the Russian President Vladimir Putin and the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Andrey Boginsky, CEO of Russian Helicopters, said, "The Ansat Aurus Design will get its first operator very soon, and the interest shown in this helicopter at the MAKS air foretells new orders. The use of best domestic technologies and materials, as well as the attention to detail are the hallmarks of the Aurus brand, and we, with our colleagues from FSUE NAMI, have worked hard to create the design of the Ansat helicopter in the best traditions of this brand. The helicopter possesses excellent flight performance characteristics and provides an uncompromising level of flight safety."

The light multipurpose, twin-engine Ansat helicopter can be used for normal passenger and VIP transport, cargo delivery, environmental monitoring and as an air medical helicopter.
