China's AC332 twin-engine civil helicopter successfully conducted its first full-state flight in Tianjin on Friday, announced its developer, the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
The 4-tonne multipurpose helicopter received its first batch of 24 orders from its launch operators on the same day, said the AVIC.
These orders include the purchase agreement for 18 aircraft and the intent purchase agreement for six. They will be used in air transport, emergency medical rescue and patrol, and other diverse fields.
The helicopter has a maximum takeoff weight of 3,850 kilogram and can carry up to 10 passengers. It has a maximum cruise speed of 260 kilometers per hour and a maximum flight range of 693 kilometers, said the developer.
The AC332 can take off at an altitude of 4,500 meters with a ceiling of 6,000 meters, meeting the requirements of air transport, search and rescue, and medical aid in plateau areas.
The developer said the helicopter would likely obtain its type certificate in 2025.
