IMRH programme progresses

According to official HAL sources, the company has embarked on the concept and configuration studies of the Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH) of the 13-ton medium lift class. The IMRH is being designed and developed to progressively replace the Mi-17 variants being used by the Indian Air Force and Army. In finalising configuration of the IMRH, a 1:10 scale wind tunnel model will be tested to ascertain the basic aerodynamic characteristics of the helicopter. HAL is working towards meeting the target committed to the MoD as per the MoU signed for 2020-21.
