The Kazan Helicopter Plant of the Russian Helicopters holding received a certificate from the Federal Air Transport Agency, allowing the installation of an additional tank on the Ansat and Ansat-M – thanks to this, it was possible to increase the flight range by almost 140 km. A dop tank with a capacity of 195 liters can be installed not only on new helicopters, but also on already operated ones (albeit after minor modifications).
“Today, a large-scale modernization of the serially produced Ansat is being carried out, which is one of the main helicopters for medical aviation. At the same time, the creation of an updated version of the machine – the Ansat-M helicopter – is underway. The work on increasing the flight range is of great importance, as it will make it easier to quickly evacuate from remote areas and expand the possibilities for passenger or cargo transportation. Thanks to the new add-on tank, the flight range of the conventional Ansat will grow to 645 kilometers, and the modernized one – to 780 kilometers, “said Nikolay Kolesov, General Director of the Russian Helicopters holding.
Let us remind you that Ansat is a multi-purpose helicopter with two engines, the design features make it possible to quickly transform it into a cargo or passenger vehicle (up to seven passengers). In the spring of 2015, an addendum to the certificate for the modification of Ansat with a medical module was issued – the sanitary variation can also be equipped with an additional tank.
