an offspring of Russian Helicopters PSV (Advanced High-Speed helicopter Program), debuted at Farnborough 2012
less ambitious in terms of maximum speed than original PSV claims of 400-450 km/h (350-370 km/h, last figure making 'V-37' designation), more affordable - higher speed made not by additional propulsors, but by sleek shapes and new proprietary main rotor design
should replace Mi-8/17 family in <uncertain> future, along with heavier Mi-38 pretending to fight for some market sector
TOW 10-12 tons, payload of 3-4 tons, 21-24 PAX salon, SAR, patrol and MEDEVAC versions proposed
