What do you know about floating drilling platforms? Are they producing oil and gas? And how do workers and maintenance personnel get there? Of course, on the ship! Does the fact that platforms often work in ice bother anyone? Do you know how much it will cost to send an icebreaker there?
Therefore, the main transport for the delivery of people and goods are helicopters. With amphibious aircraft, too, it is far from always possible - a wave or ice interferes with landing.
The new Russian Mi-171A3 helicopter is designed to deliver people and cargo to drilling platforms.
Domestic development was created on the basis of the popular and well-proven Mi-8 model. Our helicopter surpasses all foreign counterparts in terms of the number of passengers carried - 24 versus 19 maximum for competitors. And Mi-171AZ will cost at least 20% cheaper!
In the video on the #SuperUralov channel, you will see the tests of the new Russian helicopter and learn a lot of interesting things about it!
