The helicopter began flight tests and completed its maiden flight at the flight-testing complex of the National Helicopter Centre Mil and Kamov.

Andrey Boginsky, director general of Russian Helicopters said: “The modernised Ka-226T is the first helicopter in Russia to be manufactured according to digital design documentation. This initiative made it possible to significantly reduce time for building the machine and to start flight tests in a short time. At the end of this week, the updated Ka-226T will debut at international exhibitions as part of Dubai Airshow 2021, and we are confident that it will arouse genuine interest among foreign customers due to its excellent flight performance, allowing it to operate at altitudes up to 6.5 kilometers, versatility, convenience and safety.”
