he Soviet Union displayed its new Mil Mi-34 training and aerobatic competition helicopter at Air/Space America '88. Although previously not intended for international sale, strong world interest has changed Soviet minds.

  • Environment monitoring
  • Emergency search/rescue
  • Pipe/Power line control
  • Pilot training
    Mi-34S has extensively glazed cockpit and retains aerobatic capabilities of original Mi-34. It is the only civil helicopter in the world capable to 3g maneuvering, performing rolls and loops, allows autorotation landing with engine off. Mi-34S is equipped with the 'Black Box' flight recorder.
    Mi-34 helicopters may be delivered to dislocation are by heavy transport aircraft and be ready for operation in 15-20min. In 1993 the Mil MVZ together with several other related enterprises created joint venture 'Light helicopters Mi', directed to build, service and train pilots for Mil light helicopters.
