Russian Helicopters Are Ready To Fight Summer Fires in America
Written by thomas · Filed Under Aeronautics NewsFebruary 1, 2010
This year, for the first time, the leading Russian design offices, managed by the Russian Helicopters holding company, will present their developments during Heli-Expo 2010 in Houston, Texas, February 21-23.
The Russian multi-role Ka-32A11BC that has been certified in major regions – America, Asia, and Europe and is regarded by leading experts as the best in its category will be featured during the world’s largest helicopter gathering.
The Ka-32A11BC is unequalled in firefighting, especially in mountainous terrain and top floors of tall buildings.
Coaxial rotors are particularly useful in firefighting (in highly turbulent atmosphere). Global experience is proving light tail rotor controlled helicopters to be inefficient in firefighting operations.
The Ka-32A11BC offers over 40 equipment options
In Canada, for instance, the Ka-32A11BC has long been the machine of choice for logging in difficult and mountainous terrain. In a number of conditions this helicopter has no alternative. Its reliability is confirmed by operations in Canada, where these helicopters have logged tens of thousands of hours without overhaul. In 2000 these helicopters were employed in firefighting operations outside of Canada (Vancouver), in the USA (Idaho).
The Ka-32A11BC has been successfully fighting fires in Mexico and Chile through several seasons.
The outstanding performance and operation capabilities of the Russian helicopters, their high reliability, easy maintenance, unique payload capacity, operating ceiling and comparatively low price make Russian helicopters an attractive proposition in the current world-wide helicopter market.
Currently Russian helicopters are operated in over 100 countries worldwide, including the USA and Canada, as well as Mexico, Brazil, Columbia, Venezuela and other countries of Latin America.
We cordially invite you to the Russian Hour which will feature a number of presentations by representatives of Russian companies and where you will be able to hear about the Ka-32A11BC and the Mi-171 helicopters.
The Russian Hour will be held on the 22nd of February, from 1p.m. until 2.45 p.m. in the Heli-Expo 2010 conference hall.
