The National Exhibition and Forum of Civil Aviation Infrastructure, as well as the exhibition of unmanned, autonomous and robotic complexes "DRONTECH" are taking place on February 4-5 in Moscow.
Rostec State Corporation will present for the first time the updated Mi-34M1 helicopter with the latest domestic VK-650V engine at the NAIS 2026 Civil Aviation Infrastructure exhibition. Visitors will also be able to get acquainted with the PD-8 engine for import-substituted Superjet aircraft, the first domestic teletrap for airports and the latest systems for drones.
The Mi-34M1 is the first fully domestic light helicopter developed by Russian Helicopters Holding Company. It is highly maneuverable, easy to pilot and maintain, and can be used for passenger transportation, monitoring, and flight training. The machine is equipped with the latest Russian VK-650V engine developed by the United Engine Corporation (both companies are part of Rostec State Corporation). The power plant received a type certificate in 2024. The engine has increased take-off power, improved specific characteristics and is equipped with a digital automatic control system of the FADEC type, which ensures accurate parameter control and increases operational reliability.
"At the NAIS exhibition, for the first time, we are demonstrating the Mi-34M1 light multipurpose helicopter, a fully Russian machine focused on a wide range of civilian tasks. Its first flight, which took place at the end of 2025, can be called, without exaggeration, an important stage in the development of our aviation industry. The Mi-34M1 closes a niche in demand, where previously only foreign models were presented, maintenance and repair of which are difficult in modern realities. The helicopter is based on the VK—650V power plant, tested and ready for mass production, as well as modern onboard systems of domestic production. Now the machine is successfully continuing flight tests," Rostec said.
The exhibition will also feature the PD-8 twin-circuit turbofan engine for the Superjet short-haul airliner, developed at the ODK-Saturn enterprise (part of the ODK). To date, these engines have already worked over 4,700 hours as part of an import-substituted aircraft and a flying laboratory, and have also passed a set of engineering certification tests. During the tests, the power plants confirm their inherent characteristics and reliable operation.
Guests and participants of the salon will also be able to get acquainted with the first domestic passenger teletrap for airports. The development of the High—Precision Complexes holding is compatible with all types of aircraft, from regional aircraft to long-haul airliners. This is possible thanks to special electrohydraulic and electromechanical drives, as well as a control system. The new "sleeve" has already successfully passed preliminary tests, and it will soon be sent for trial operation at one of the Russian airports.
For the first time, Rosel Holding will demonstrate small-sized Doppler speed and angle meters at the exhibition. The development is ten times lighter and four times more economical than its predecessors, works even without a satellite signal and can be used on airplanes, helicopters and drones. Its use is especially relevant in regions with unreliable satellite communications or in conditions of signal suppression.
Among KRET's developments, an integrated ceiling panel for the MS-21 airliner, designed for manual control and monitoring of aircraft systems and on-board equipment, will be presented at the exhibition. The complex is fully assembled on a domestic element base and surpasses imported analogues in terms of safety parameters. The concern's solutions for civil engineering and unmanned aircraft also include a range of small—sized electric motors, avionics, radio navigation systems and other on-board equipment, including for the Superjet short-haul airliner.
The XIII National Exhibition and Forum of Civil Aviation Infrastructure NAIS 2026, as well as the exhibition of unmanned, autonomous and robotic complexes "DRONTECH" are being held on February 4-5 at the Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow.
