Russian Helicopters and AgustaWestland have quietly shelved plans to jointly develop a 2.5t rotorcraft, a senior executive from the Moscow-headquartered manufacturer has revealed.
Alexander Mikheev, general director of Russian Helicopters, says the decision was taken earlier this year not to proceed with the project – barely six months after the pair signed a heads of agreement for the programme at the 2013 MAKS air show. "At the end of March we took a joint decision on not continuing to develop this project. The competitiveness [in this segment] is quite high, and we have decided not to proceed. We will now focus on other classes [of helicopter] and other projects," says Mikheev, speaking through an interpreter.

working prototype of the ARINC 429 converter was installed on a Sikorsky helicopter within 48 hours of requirements definition. Shadin delivered black-label production units 22 days later, ultimately reducing lead time to the customer.
