What's next?

As it was mentioned, "Protor" was built to make sure that major components and the whole concept are correct and works fine. This aircraft will be tested further to accumulate hours, to check any leaks in its design and as the test jig for some new components.

Second aircraft is now in process and it is already built according to complete manufacturing documentation for future commercial products.

First helicopters are expected to the market next autumn - they will be ready-to-fly and will be sold at the very competitive price. We don't expect to accept orders from outside of Russia since the Russian customers are already very interested in it.
