The development of a prospective next generation helicopter engine that can be used on new Russian high-speed aircraft is planned to begin next year, Aleksandr Vatagin, the executive director of St. Petersburg's JSC UEC-Klimov (part of the state United Engine Corporation), said on Tuesday, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"Of course, we are engaged in this project, it is even eligible for the federal budget of the [Russian] Ministry of Industry and Trade. There is money in the budget for 2021-2022, and we expect that we will receive this money unambiguously and we will create a prospective helicopter engine," Vatagin told reporters, answering a relevant question.
