The fourth prototype of the Russian Helicopters' new multirole Mi-38 helicopter has carried out a series of ground runs and completed its first flight at Russian Helicopters' Kazan Helicopter test flight centre.
This new protoype differs from the third prototype in its shock-resistant fuel system and larger windows. As with the third prototype, the fourth prototype of the Mi-38 is equipped with twin TV7-117V turboshaft engines manufactured by Klimov.
The engine's power shafts are in a forward position and are located behind the main gearbox, which significantly reduces the level of noise in the cabin.
