Plans also include ground testing and obtaining permission for the first flight. Evgeniy Prodanov, director of the VK-650 UEC-Klimov program, emphasized the importance of the new engine for light civil aviation and said that they plan to start mass production next year.
VK-650 has been designed with the ability to create various modifications and has been successfully integrated into hybrid power plants. VK-650 V will be the first Russian helicopter engine with a power of 650-750 hp, replacing foreign analogues on Ansat helicopters and other models.
