Businessmen are the main clients and they are always satisfied with the quality of service. Nothing helps get things done more than being able to cover long distances in the shortest possible time.

There are several models of modern helicopters available for customers to choose from. Most important points in the process of searching for the optimal option, the passenger capacity, number and type of engines, manufacturer are considered.

Flight speed ranges from 210 to 300 km. / hour, depending on the specific helicopter model. We try to offer customers several options to choose from and competitive rates. If the helicopter rental takes place on long term, general helicopter rental cost decreases. The price for renting a helicopter starts from 7,000 rubles. in 15 minutes Accurate flight cost calculations are made during the daytime (10:00 - 20:00). A helicopter flight in Moscow takes place over the Moscow Ring Road. The price does not depend on holidays.

But helicopters are not without certain advantages. The most important of them is vertical takeoff. Unlike airplanes, helicopters do not require long runways. Thanks to this, they can take off and land almost anywhere, including the roofs of high-rise buildings and other inaccessible places.

Helicopters can operate at low altitudes, providing clear line of sight. This is extremely important during rescue, military, law enforcement and a number of other operations. Helicopters are extremely maneuverable because they can move in any direction. This advantage is very advantageous in conditions of limited space. But in any case, take a look at the ranking of the 10 most expensive aircraft.

The use of a helicopter is especially important for high-ranking managers and dignitaries who are guided by the principle time is money" Their movement in this case is not limited to crowded city streets, because the airspace is always relatively free, and the rules for using it by helicopter are simplified (there is no need to register a flight plan).

The time it takes to travel to offices located in neighboring cities is shorter than the time required to travel by other modes of transport, in particular by car.

This is precisely what serves as the basis for the rapid development of such a segment of the helicopter industry as the corporate one. The newest models of helicopters produced definitely include a corporate version. At the same time, old, military brands are regularly modernized to serve commercial purposes.

If we compare conventional helicopters (medical, military, police, firefighting) with commercial ones, the latter provide more space for passengers. They are better equipped in terms of sound insulation, air conditioning, special large passenger seats and toilets.

Even visually they are more attractive: glossy finish of internal and external interior elements, carpeting.

What to choose
If you compare buying a car and buying a helicopter, there are both differences and common points. Like a car, a rotorcraft can be bought new or used. By the way, a helicopter that has already been used before is called a resource helicopter. There is a third option - purchasing a so-called kit, that is, a set of components and assemblies, including an engine, intended for self-assembly. You can assemble it yourself, or entrust the assembly to professionals at a service center.

Go and buy new helicopter It won't always work out right away. As a rule, new helicopters are delivered to order. Thus, the American Robinson R44 helicopter, popular in Russia, will have to wait from 3 to 6 months, the French Eurocopter EC-130 T2 - up to one year. True, official dealers always have their own, pre-ordered helicopters with a close delivery time. As for the resource helicopter, its advantage is that you don’t have to wait for it. Therefore, a helicopter 1-3 years old costs almost like new. But in the future, the price of cars is falling quite slowly.

Eurocopter EC-130

In addition, you have to choose between a piston helicopter and a gas turbine one.

The advantage of the first one will be its low fuel requirements. The piston Robinson is refueled with aviation gasoline, but they also use automobile AI-95, the main thing is that the quality of the fuel does not fail. Gas turbine helicopters fly on aviation kerosene, which is significantly more expensive. In addition, when choosing, you need to take into account the purposes for which the helicopter is purchased. Piston machines are intended primarily for amateur pilots flying for their own pleasure. Gas turbines require flights in various weather conditions and high intensity operation. But they are also significantly more expensive.

The Federal Agency is responsible for registering helicopters air transport- Rosaviatsia. Helicopters, like airplanes, are subject to registration in the State Register of Civilian aircraft Russian Federation.

Heavenly "Robinsons" and others
It just so happens that the main machines in this segment presented in Russia are helicopters from the American company Robinson Helicopter. The company has three types of rotorcraft in its arsenal - the two-seat R22, the four-seat R44 and the five-seat R66. In addition, the company produces Robinson Helipad helipads designed for installation on the roofs of buildings. Our country's share in the company's sales is approximately 15%. In total, the company produces 800 cars per year.

Robinson R22 is a light single-engine helicopter. Equipped with a Lycoming O-360 four-cylinder piston gasoline engine. The helicopter is two-seater, designed for a pilot and one passenger. Produced since 1975. The R22 Beta II has a starting price of $288,000 in standard trim. But this is in the USA. Transportation and customs clearance will increase the price by about one and a half times. The R44 Cadet, announced late last year, is also a two-seater, but unlike other 44-series helicopters, it starts at $339,000. Apparently, it is replacing the R22. The R44 Cadet has the same overall dimensions as the four-seat R44 Raven II, but unlike it, it has a spacious cargo compartment instead of rear seats.

The Robinson R44 first flew in 1990. This is one of the most popular helicopters in its class. Like the R22, it is also powered by a piston engine. The helicopter is designed for 4 people. The R44 Raven II helicopter costs $461,000 as standard.

Robinson R66 is Robinson Helicopter's first gas turbine helicopter. Available since 2010. It is powered by a Rolls-Royce RR300 turboshaft engine. Has five seats and a separate cargo compartment. It no longer consumes gasoline, but aviation kerosene. The price of the R66 Turbine helicopter in its basic configuration is $869,000.

The Rotorway A600 Talon is a lightweight two-seat piston helicopter manufactured by the American company RotorWay International. The model has been produced since 2007. Supplied unassembled. Complete assembly takes approximately 450 hours. Regular 92-grade gasoline is used as fuel. The factory cost of the kit is $98,000. Russian price will include VAT, customs duty and, if you do not assemble it yourself, then the cost of assembly.

The Italian Heli-Sport CH-7 has been produced by Heli-Sport aircraft since 2009. It is also a two-seat piston helicopter with tandem seats. The DIY kit will cost $115,000. The pilot and passenger seats are located just like on a motorcycle - one behind the other. There is a version with a classic row seat arrangement - HeliSport CH77.

Heli-Sport CH-7

If you have sufficient financial resources, you can take a closer look at Eurocopter helicopters from Airbus Helicopters, a subsidiary of the famous concern Airbus Group, and Bell from the American Bell Helicopter, part of the Textron conglomerate. But their cost will be significantly higher.

It is still difficult to choose something from domestic helicopters for personal use. Russian Helicopters, the main domestic manufacturer of civil and military helicopters, can offer Ansat and Ka-226T in the relatively light segment. In the future, perhaps, the Ka-62, which took to the skies for the first time in April of this year. Light domestic helicopters - the Kazan "Aktay" and the Togliatti "Berkut" - never went into production.

Ansat

Where to store and where to fly
Since a helicopter does not need a runway, unlike an airplane, it can be stored at home. Of course, if this Vacation home. But for this you need to register the helipad. To do this, you need a flat plot of land with an area of ​​35 by 35 meters. And there should be no obstacles along the take-off course at an angle of 45 degrees. It can also be stored at a heliport. Depending on the type of storage, street or hangar, and the list of related services, the price of storage will depend. Like an airplane, a helicopter can be rented out between flights, which can pay for its storage and maintenance.

Russian airspace is divided into zones of three classes: A, C and G. For flights of small aircraft, including helicopters, zones C and G are used. In the first case, air traffic control permission is required (for example, flights in the airfield area), in In the second case, permission is not needed. There are also areas where flights are prohibited, for example within the Moscow Ring Road. For flights in class G airspace, a notification flight procedure has been established. Notification can be submitted no earlier than 5 days and no later than an hour before departure. Such notification can be submitted either by telephone or fax, or via the Internet.

Helicopter training
Helicopters are more difficult to fly than airplanes. And learning to fly a helicopter will also cost more. If you have to pay from 300,000 rubles for a training course for an amateur pilot, then prices for helicopter courses start from 800,000 rubles. The price of training usually includes the cost of renting a helicopter and an instructor, as well as jet fuel. By the way, helicopters consume more fuel compared to aircraft of similar weight, which also affects the cost of training. In addition, for an additional fee, an instructor can be called to your home.

During the training process, cadets must take theoretical courses and fly more than 42 hours. The theoretical course includes: study of helicopter design, engine, instrument and radio equipment, aerodynamics, meteorology, navigation and helicopter navigation. The practical part of the training includes: circling and en route flights, hovering, moving and turning around the ground. Upon completion of training, the cadet will be required to pass an exam and receive a private pilot certificate.

Or maybe a gyrocopter?
The world of light aviation is not limited only to helicopters and airplanes. There are also gyrocopters, other names: gyroplane and gyroplane. Externally similar to a helicopter (helicopter), a gyrocopter, however, is designed differently. A gyrocopter, like a helicopter, has a main rotor designed to create lift. However, the gyrocopter propeller rotates freely in autorotation mode under the influence of aerodynamic forces. It only creates lift. The driving force is created by the propeller, which imparts horizontal speed to the gyroplane. In a helicopter, on the contrary, the lifting and driving force is created by the main rotor.

Unlike a helicopter, a gyrocopter requires a runway to take off. In addition, the gyrocopter will not be able to hover in the air. But if necessary, it can land anywhere. Since the gyrocopter is constantly in autorotation mode, if the engine fails during flight, it can descend to the ground without any problems. In addition, the cost of a flight hour is several times lower than that of a helicopter due to lower fuel consumption. Prices for gyrocopters (gyroplanes) are also noticeably lower than for helicopters. Russian ones cost from 2 million, foreign ones - from 4 to 7 million rubles.

Personal helicopter: transport of the future

Increasingly, residents of the capital are moving to country houses, wanting to enjoy the proximity of nature and favorable ecology in pastoral silence. The further from Moscow, the more choice the most beautiful places, where you can build a house, and premium class cottage villages offering luxurious urban infrastructure near forests and picturesque ponds. The only reason preventing some potential buyers from making the final decision to purchase a house near Moscow at a distance of about 100 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road is the distance from the capital, where active business life is concentrated. But now there is a way out of the situation - replacing a car with a helicopter will allow you to cover the distance to the city several times faster.

Currently, the demand for helicopter transportation is quite high. The NDV-Group holding receives more than 50 aircraft per day from the territory of Heliport Moscow. Some of them are helicopters owned by private individuals who have pilot licenses and fly independently. Others are ordered by clients as air taxis for business purposes (for example, to visit regional branches) and for entertainment and excursion purposes.

The management of NDV-Group aims to increase its own aircraft fleet and sales volumes of aviation equipment over the next few years. Opportunities of Heliport Moscow, located half a kilometer from the Moscow Ring Road along Novorizhskoe highway, allow you to receive up to 150 helicopters daily. Another helicopter center, Heliport Istra, became part of the NDV-Group structure after signing a cooperation agreement with the Aviamarket company. The company plans to create new heliports in the Moscow region and other regions of Russia.

If you haven't tried helicopter transportation before, perhaps it's time to give it a try. In addition to saving time, this is an indescribable feeling from beautiful views, which open from a bird's eye view. Air tours to various attractions are of interest - from ancient Russian cities to unique natural complexes. The helicopter, which can land even on a tiny area, will take you fishing and hunting, to your friends’ country house, or to your partners’ business seminar. An hour's helicopter rental costs from $800 to $2,000.

Often, after flying as a passenger, there is an irresistible desire to take off on your own. Pilot training is also carried out in flying clubs at heliports. Beginners are recommended to start with an introductory two-hour course, which includes a small theoretical part and 2 flights with an instructor, during which the cadet tries to control the car independently.

If the desire to become a pilot has strengthened, then you can begin training at the first stage. Depending on the type of helicopter, the cost of such a course ranges from 11 to 17 thousand US dollars. After studying the theory and receiving flight practice, the cadet is allowed to fly independently. If you want to become a real pilot and fly a helicopter in any country in the world, you will need to complete a full course of training, the cost of which is in the range of 30-45 thousand dollars. After such training, an international amateur pilot certificate is issued.

Those wishing to purchase a helicopter as their own should contact the official representatives of the supplier. When choosing a helicopter, pay attention to its capacity and maintenance requirements, speed and fuel consumption - all this will help to avoid mistakes. The most popular among Muscovites are helicopters from Robinson Helicopter Company.

Let's talk about the most common models.

The two-seat, lightweight, gasoline-powered R22 is ideal for short-range flights. Maneuverable and safe, the R22 can rise to a height of more than 4 km, reach speeds of up to 180 km/h and fly for about 3 hours without refueling. The approximate cost of this helicopter is 470 thousand dollars.

The four-seater R44 is powered by a piston engine. It reaches speeds of up to 240 km/h and can stay in the air for more than 3 hours without refuelling. Maximum height flight - 4.2 kilometers. The Robinson R 44 Raven series includes two modifications that provide the possibility of landing on water or in the mountains. The cost of the R44 is from 615 thousand dollars.

The gas turbine five-seat R66 is equipped with a leather interior and a spacious cargo compartment. The maximum flight speed on the R66 is 260 km/h; in 3 hours without refueling, the helicopter will cover a distance of more than 600 kilometers. The machine has low vibration levels and smooth flight. Price R66 - from 1340 thousand US dollars.

A personal helicopter can be stored on the territory of your own country house, on helipad commercial enterprise or in a flying club hangar or a prepared heliport area. The advantage of the latter options is the presence of round-the-clock security and the ability to involve specialists in preparing the flight.

Recently, the number of specialized helicopter centers has been growing, and the authorities are considering the possibility of introducing changes to legislation to allow the use of helicopters more efficiently. For example, since April of this year, helicopter movements over the Moscow Ring Road in both directions (both clockwise and counterclockwise) are allowed. The number of airfields intended for helicopters will be increased to 300 in the Moscow region in the next few years alone.
