Berkut VL to Take Initial Flight at MAKS 2013

The two-seat coaxial Berkut VL is set to take to the air during the MAKS International Aviation and Space Show, scheduled to take place from August 30 to September 1 near Moscow. The VL is seeking to compete in a market space with no existing Russian offerings, a segment currently ruled by U.S.-built Robinson R44s and R22s. The Berkut VL made its first public appearance at the last MAKS in 2011.
