The Mil Mi-171 is the export version of the Mi-8AMT, itself a development of the Mi-8 Hip medium helicopter. It came from the Mi-8MTV, the baseline model that Mil developed in the 1980s around the high-altitude TV3-117VM engine, which allowed take-offs and landings at altitudes of up to 4,000 metres. Series production of the Mi-8MTV began at the Ulan-Ude plant in 1991, where it received minor equipment changes and was redesignated Mi-8AMT, with Mi-171 as its export designation. The type was certified by 1997 and received a Chinese type certificate under US FAR-29 standards in 1999. It is built at Ulan-Ude and Kazan, was assembled in China from kits supplied by Ulan-Ude from 2008, and was delivered to customers including Iran and India, where it can carry up to 37 passengers.
