Kazan Ansat
The Kazan Ansat is a light twin-engine helicopter developed in Russia as a modern replacement for the aging Mil Mi-2, built for utility, air ambulance, and training roles. It was one of the first Russian civil helicopters certified with a fly-by-wire flight control system, unusual for a light helicopter of its size. A dedicated medical variant with an enclosed stretcher module has become common with Russian regional emergency services. Its relatively low cost compared with Western light twins has made it a popular choice across Russia and several allied export markets.
