|

One and a half year ago the main Russian helicopters developer – the “Mil” Moscow Helicopter Plant (MMHP) – was headed by a new director. At the extraordinary meeting of shareholders Mr. Andrei Shibitov was unanimously elected as General Director of the plant. Earlier Mr. Shibitov worked at the “Rostvertol”, a plant producing combat and heavy transport Mi-helicopters. During 15 years of work at the “Rostvertol” Andrei Shibitov rose from the rank of an ordinary design engineer to Deputy General Director on marketing and export. Being the head of Foreign Economic and Marketing Department at the Rostov plant he managed to conclude and to fulfill a number of profitable export contracts on deliveries and upgrade of Mi-helicopters after several years of stagnation. This has not gone unnoticed and Mr. Shibitov was challenged to head the most famous “Mil” company. It is an open secret that after the collapse of the Soviet Union the “Mil” Moscow helicopter plant suffered from a serious decline and the hopes for its revival were pinned on the young and energetic director. Andrei Shibitov has already managed to achieve success in reviving the company: the Mi-28N (main combat helicopter of the MMHP) state test program has been, at last, moved off the dead center, the situation in the Design Bureau was normalized; the integration process within the “Oboronprom” holding got rolling. On the eve of the exhibition in Farnborough Alexander Velovich, a reviewer of “Vzlyot”, met with Andrei Shibitov and asked him several questions about the present situation at the MMHP and main priorities of the famous helicopter company.

The Mi-8 helicopter is probably the second “cultic” product of the Russian defense industry after the Kalashnikov gun. This helicopter in different parts of the world proved that Russia was not only the country of oil, vodka and balalaikas.
