Aerokopter AK1-3
The Aerokopter Design Bureau at Poltava was founded on 14 December 1999. The AK1-3 two-seat light-weight helicopter flew first on
12 October 2001, and the Ukrainian APU-27 type certificate was awarded on 30 June 2006. The AK1-3 is powered by a 110 kW Subaru
EJ-25 automobile engine which is non-type certified (the helicopter was certified together with the engine in the Ukraine). That
is why the AK1-3 is registered in the West as a 'factory-built kit helicopter'. The small chopper weighs only 390 kg, that allows
to transport it on a small trailer which simultaneously serves as a mobile landing strip for the helicopter. The price tag is some
$ 150,000, a bit cheaper than a Robinson R22. 27 AK1-3s had been built by autumn 2008.
