The general parameters of helicopter AK1-3 are not worse than the best samples of foreign helicopters of the given class have.
The operational range of heights and speeds of flight of the helicopter is limited to a practical ceiling of 3000 meters under a condition of absence of the oxygen equipment.
At flight weight of 530 kg (one pilot) the helicopter has good maneuverable characteristics under small speeds of flight. Realization of good maneuverable characteristics is provided by small loading on blowing area, high installed power, the small moments of inertia, and a sufficient reserve of control that enables its uses for flights on sports pilotage.
