The Kamov Ka-226T certification, which was completed this spring, when the IAC Aviation Registry released Supplementary Certificate ST225-Ka-226/OGI-04 on 30 March 2015, ensured the beginning of the full-rate production and delivery of the type to its launch customers. The key difference between the Ka-226T and earlier-built Ka-226 lies in use of more powerful Turbomeca Arrius 2G1 engines, the advanced VR-226N main gearbox and more sophisticated avionics, which allowed a hefty increase in the helicopter's flight and operational characteristics.

The first orders were placed for advanced Russian-made Ansat light multipurpose helicopters for Russian commercial aviation companies this year.

The first flight of the fourth flying prototype of the advanced Mil Mi-38 medium transport helicopter took place in Kazan, at the airfield of Kazan Helicopters, a subsidiary of the Russian Helicopters holding company, on 16 October 2014. The fourth prototype (OP-4) with side number 38014 was made in the Mi-38-2 variant powered by advanced Russian-developed Klimov TV7-117V turboshafts. Unlike the previous Mi-38 prototypes, OP-4 features enlarged windows and a advanced shock-protected fuel system. The machine is being considered as the standard for future production Mi-38s. OP-4's first hover was performed in Kazan by the crew of Honoured Test Pilot Vladimir Kutanin. The aircraft will undergo further tests at the flight test facility of the Mil Helicopter Plant in Tomilino, Moscow Region.
