The Kazan Helicopter Plant of the Russian Helicopters Holding has received Rosaviation approval to equip the Ansat helicopter with an external suspension.

Certification of the new option allows you to transport oversized cargo and use Ansat to extinguish fires.

The Ansat helicopter can now carry loads on an external suspension weighing up to a ton. 

Recall that during the tests at the Kazan Helicopter Plant, the car rose to a height of 3.7 km, having 600 kg of cargo overboard. The speed of the aircraft at the same time was 180 km / h. The maximum take-off weight of the Ansat when using an external suspension has been increased from 3600 to 3800 kg.

Also, the specialists of the KVZ flight test complex conducted a series of tests of the fire extinguishing system on the Ansat helicopter using a spillway device. It is attached to the external suspension and does not affect the design features of the helicopter.

"Our task is to make Ansat a universal helicopter capable of performing a wide range of tasks. The expansion of optional solutions expands, among other things, the search and rescue functions of Ansat, which is relevant for customers. So, in 2020, the first Ansat replenished the aviation fleet of the Northwestern Aviation Rescue Center, and we expect that the new capabilities of Ansat will become the basis for further increasing cooperation with the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia," said Nikolay Kolesov, CEO of the Russian Helicopters holding.

Another new option certified for use on the Ansat was the searchlight, which can be used when performing search and rescue missions together with an onboard winch. The installation of a special "heel" on the landing gear runners – the so-called "bear paws", which serve to land the aircraft on soft ground, is also certified on the Ansat helicopter. 

In addition, as part of the execution of the contract for the supply of helicopters for the National Air Ambulance Service, the installation of domestic LED guided search and landing headlights FSD-134M developed by the Research Institute of Micro Devices has been certified.
