"Avia-proekt" company was founded in 2003. The core business of the company is delivery of aeronautical materials for aviation enterprises and management of repair of both aviation materiel and its components. The staff includes professionals having inestimable experience gained at civil aviation enterprises of the Soviet Union and Russia, during service in the USSR and Russian Federation Air Forces. The members of the staff are both the officers out of service in reserve and those who occupied precedently executive positions in Civil Aviation.
The wide experience is related to engineering directions, operation and maintenance of aviation materiel and the organization of aviation business itself. A strong, highly professional and efficient team of about 30 persons is created in the company as of today. The company collaborates with the largest Russian manufacturers of aviation materiel: JSC Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant, JSC Klimov, JSC Kamov, also with famous native plants: JSC Electropribor (Kazan), JSC Moscow Plant Temp (Moscow), JSC Yaroslavl Radio Manufacturing Plant (Yaroslavl), JSC Gidroavtomatika (Samara), JSC Tekhpribor (Saint-Petersburg), JSC Moscow Plant MPZ2 (Moscow) and with the leading aviation repair plants: JSC SPARC, JSC Ural Works of Civil Aviation, JSC Omsk Civil Aviation Plant, JSC Rostov Civil Aviation Plant 412, RF DoD Aviation Repair Plant 121, RF DoD Aviation Repair Plant 218, RF DoD Aviation Repair Plant 356 and others. "The main principle of our business is trustability" – the director general said.
CJSC Avia-proekt participated in International MAKS –2005 exhibition, where for the first time it represented its own development - air-cushion AeroScooter Donat. AeroScooter met with public notice at the exhibition. We received many questions concerning AeroScooter after participation in MAKS starting from "where is it possible to see" and "give more details") to "where is it possible to buy" – S.L. Sheygas noted. It was the first own engineering development of CJSC AVIA-PROEKT. This development demonstrated the engineering capabilities of the company.
After participation in MAKS we made a number of organizational conclusions, obtained a license to develop aviation materiel, created a design-engineering department including designers highly qualified in helicopter construction and at the beginning of 2007 we concluded to start developing the Light Multipurpose Helicopter having the coded name AP-55.
Design works were started by the efforts of the small well-consolidated team. Design engineering is performed using up-to-date application software that advances the process and increases the efficiency of designers’ labor. The result is a great scope of work executed within just over one year – from a sketch to a full-size dummy. The dummy of helicopter was presented at the first Russian International Helicopter Exhibition HeliRussia 2009 held in Moscow in May, where it was the only novelty of the season and an object of interest of some specialists and high-ranking officials. Representatives of commercial entities having the helicopter park also took interest in helicopter purchasing after the serial production starting.
The present situation at the Russian market of light helicopters is not to the best advantage. None of series-produced helicopter is offered by the Russian manufacturer. Therefore expensive foreign analogues are presented, which do not have developed chains of maintenance. After approaching the market AP-55 will be more attractive for the Russian consumers for a variety of reasons, among which are availability of spare parts and repair and possibility of employment in severe climatic conditions. At this stage manufacturing of pilot models is prepared. The models will be assembled at one of the leading helicopter construction enterprise of the country. The project is financed by own funds of company, but attraction of outward investments is planned. |
