"The traditional 'Russian Hour' will be held by Russian delegates to the Las Vegas helicopter forum on the second day of the show, March 6. Russian Helicopters will use the occasion to present the Kamov Ka-62 medium-sized multirole transport and passenger helicopter built with the use of composite materials," the holding reports.

The Ka-62 helicopter complies with the highest norms of fuel efficiency, cost effectiveness and security. Its maiden flight is due in 2013 and certification in 2014.
