Cirrus has flown the second conforming-prototype Vision SF50 personal jet as it aims for certification and first delivery in late 2015. Aircraft C1 flew for 45 min. from Duluth, Minnesota, on Nov. 25. C1 joins the first certification flight-test aircraft, C0, which first flew in March and has logged some 220 hr. over 150 flights. A third aircraft is expected to join the test program in the near future, Cirrus says.
Russian Helicopters has begun flight testing the Mi-171A2 medium helicopter, the latest iteration of the long-lived Mil Mi-8 equipped with new engines, rotors and glass-cockpit avionics. Developed by the Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant, the Mi-171A2 is powered by two digitally controlled, 2,400-shp Klimov VK-2500PS-03 turboshafts, replacing the Mi-8/17 family’s 2,200-shp TV3-117s.
