[electronic translation]  According to the authors of the “development of the aviation industry in the years 2013-2025.“Scientific-Technical Complex (NTC) of JSC” Helicopters of Russia “will be established on the basis of CB” Mil “and” Kamov “” in order to reduce the time and cost of development of helicopters. “ It is fairly safe to assume that the idea of combining the two major helicopter Bureau agreed with the OPK “Oboronprom” and its subsidiary “Helicopters of Russia”. Such a move is quite logical, since it is no secret that over the past 20 years, both CB lost much of its staff, and the trend is that in the short term or the CB “Mil” or CB “Kamov” not be able to independently implement a major project in the helicopter.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Industry in the program essentially has only one brand new project – it is a promising medium helicopter (PSV), which, apparently, will soon receive the designation Mi-37. The project, first presented to the public at the air show “Farnborough 2012”, also has the designation B-37, and RACHEL (Russian Advanced Commercial Helicopter – Russian advanced commercial helicopter).

According to statements of the holding company “Russian Helicopters”, the machine B-37 will join forces to develop two KB advanced helicopter in the framework of PSV. In the car-37 will have a takeoff weight of 10-12 tons and can carry 20-24 people or 3.4 tons of cargo at a cruising speed of 350-370 km / h It is assumed that the final configuration of advanced helicopter V-37 will be determined by the end of 2013 to the summer testing the new car may begin in 2016-2017., Completion and certification of the helicopter began his first customer deliveries scheduled for 2018-2020.

Among the future projects “Program” is worth mentioning promising light helicopter (this five-seat multi-purpose machine with a maximum takeoff weight of 1.9 tons), a promising medium helicopter weighing 4.5 tons (1.6 tonnes payload vehicle, designed to carry 12-15 passengers ) based helicopter “Ansat” (unification to 70%) and promising heavy helicopter (with a maximum takeoff weight of 30 tons and 12 tons capacity) based on the Mi-26. These projects are identified only in general terms, and nothing specific about them is said. The “Program” confirms the closing of the project light multipurpose helicopter Mi-34.

In the project “Program” states that the priorities of the national helicopter is the successful implementation of ongoing projects to build medium-duty helicopters Mi-38 and Ka-62, and building a global network of customer service. About programs on the machines Mi-38 and Ka-62, it should be noted that the history of both projects has about 30 years: its development began in the second half of the 80s of the last century.

In the chapter “Analysis of the major problems in the helicopter market,” the development of the industry in Russia named the following negative factors: the use of outdated approaches to the design of helicopters, despite the widespread use of computer technology, the lack of uniform standards of design in a helicopter holding, lack of automation of production planning, etc .

The authors of the program have not ignored the problem of serial production of helicopters: an obsolete industrial base and quality problems of the production staff. I quote from the text: “The production of the holding company” Russian Helicopters “are characterized by a high level of depreciation of manufacturing equipment (international standards for wear five years corresponds to only 15% of the equipment, and the age of most of the equipment (69%) more than 15 years).” In addition, the holding company has an acute shortage of highly skilled workers basic specialties, the average age of the production staff is 43 years with a high level of workers approaching retirement and retirement ages. As “the program” confirms the closing of the project light multipurpose helicopter Mi-34.

It is proposed to implement a program of helicopter in three stages: 1st – 2013-2014., 2nd – 2015-2020. and third – 2021-2025 years. For its implementation is planned to spend 37 billion rubles in the period from 2013 to 2020 From 2020, funding for scientific research will be conducted within the framework of sub-program “Science and Technology”. These funding levels are not specified.
