Mil Mi-38 certified, 16 years after launch
Russian Helicopters receives type certification for Mi-38
When originally launched in 1999 in partnership with Eurocopter, the P&WC PW127 powered aircraft was planned to enter production in 2006. EC withdrew from the project in 2003, and the platform subsequently switched to Klimov TV7-117Vs.
A contender for most protracted civil rotorcraft development effort? Perhaps only edged out by the AW609, originally launched in November 1996 (as the Bell Boeing 609).

Price tag is approx 13mio USD, max 30 pax/6000kg internal load. With 30 pax, you probably need a flight attendant on board (for CAT). What kind of operations would fit for this thing ?
32 years for the v22 & still not certified

@RVDT
It is The Interstate Aviation Committee certification, IAC
or
Межгосударственный авиационный комитет, МАК
Because of political reasons do not expect any miracles under FAA or EASA,
but can be well accepted within the rest of the world

It is certified under russian AP-29 standard, which is similar to FAR 29 and it's european copy. So in principle it could get type certified for the US and Europe as well, as already done with the KA-32.
Not sure though if civilian helicopters fall under the sanction of dual use goods.

Last time we discussed that matter at MAKS 2011 have been told that must
be 800-900 kg/h level.... new engines are bit more efficient.
Can ask what are the final figures...

Hey RVDT
OK Your right on about the civil certification on the v22
but the XV15-BA609-AW609 first launched in 1971......45 years on &, &, & still struggling & not YET certified 
impressive??? NOT 
something tells me that; A. it's a lemon & B. it's cash cow for the (lucky) Boys Club 
May the Vertical Force (Thrust) be with You

9Aplus,
my pure guess is around 880-900 kg/h, but would like to confirm.
Puting politics aside, I think it will be a good machine. At least as good as the older brother.
