The Dhruvis a multi-role, multi-mission new generation Helicopter in the 5.5 tonne weight class built to meet

Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). It is designed to meet the requirements of both civil and military operators.

The Dhruv is powered by two Turbomeca TM 333 2B2 engines with sufficient power margins for single engineperformance and CAT A take-off and landing capability. Use of two engines provide increased safety and allowscontinued flight till safe landing.

The Dhruvwith its hingeless main rotor system provides excellent handling qualities including good Nap Of theEarth (NOE) performance due to its high rotor moment capability and fast control response.

The Dhruv is ideally suited for rapid deployment due to its high speed capability. Its large fuel capacity enables longrange and endurance. Provision for fitment of auxiliary fuel tank enhances the range and endurance further.

The Dhruvhas been designed for both utility and armed roles. It has been designed to land on ships under high sea -state condit ions and on small / restricted helipads.

Dhruv is designed to provide a high degree of survivability which includes low radar, thermal and acoustic signatures. Extensiveuse of composites provides crashworthiness, battle damage tolerance, quick repair and reduced signature.The benefits of this rugged construction are:

xHigh redundancy characteristics xBallistic tolerance x Emergency Flotation System permiting pitching &xLow external noise xCrashworthy structure floating in the sea upto sea state 5/6
