Mi-X1 Russian Advanced Helicopter

Pusher propellers will be the level-flight propulsion agreement of best for Russian helicopter manufacturers Mil and Kamov for a new brand of accelerated rotorcraft to fly in the 2015 timeframe. In 2008 both Russian helicopter specialists appear accelerated helicopter concepts aggressive for the Rb15 billion ($635 million) government allocation for development of new rotorcraft technologies. Kamov has two concepts - the Ka-90 and Ka-92. Mil is arduous with the Mi-X1 and unpiloted MRVK. A individual above abstraction is accepted to be alleged to serve as the abject for the conception of assembly models.

The Mi-X1 and MRVK use agnate rotor systems, with a capital rotor and rear-mounted pusher ballista that gives a addition in cruise and adds torque stabilisation through advance vectoring. Like the Ka-92, Mil's architecture aswell has two VK2500s for power, but is lighter at 10,000kg accustomed and 12,000kg best abandonment weight. The abate berth will board 20-25 cartage or 3,500-4,000kg of cargo. Static beam will be 11,500ft and ambit up to 1,550km.

The Mi-X1 is getting developed for a cruise acceleration of 257kt and best acceleration of 280kt application an avant-garde capital rotor architecture with computer control. Mil is alive on a arrangement to abolish bounded stalls on the beat blade. Such top acceleration would be accomplished by applying a technology alleged the Arrest Bounded Elimination Arrangement (SLES) in the capital rotor. SLES delays the arrest on the beat brand through the ascendancy of its acclimatization angle. According to Mil calculations, the SLES should plan able-bodied at speeds of up to 400 km/h. To adjournment the brand arrest at college speeds, Mil suggests a aggregate of the SLES technology with an arrow-type appearance to the brand tip. Contributing to the helicopter's acceleration is the abeyant use of a tail-mounted ballista with advance agent ascendancy via surfaces installed in slipstream.

KA-28 Helix Rusian Naval Helicopter

The Ka-28 helicopter is an export version of the Ka-27 anti-sub and rescue helicopter of the Russian Navy. Aircraft of the type were mass-produced in Kumertau, with a complete of 267 built By 2000, 33 Ka-28s were assembled. They were sold to China, India, Vietnam, Syria, Yugoslavia and Cuba. {below the 1998 contract, five Ka-28 anti-sub helicopters and three Ka-27PS search and rescue ones were delivered to China, three in 1999 and five in 2000.

The ship-based anti-submarine helicopter KA-28 is meant to be used to look, to trace and to destroy submarines in under-water and above-water positions, day and night, in easy and complex weather conditions at the depth of their immersion up to 500 m and travel races to 75 km/h, in the regions being remote from the purpose of the helicopter basing at the distance up to 200 km.

The export version of Ka-28 is developed on the idea of Ka-27 and differs from it by some on-board equipment units, "friend-or-foe" identification system and bigger fuel system capacity - 4,470 l. The operating ratings of TV3-117VMA engines, developed by the corporate, headed by Mr. A. Sarkisov, Designer General, were supplemented by higher-power emergency rating in case one of the engines fails.

Pilots accommodated side-by-side in one cockpit will fly this helicopter and handle all on-board systems. The Alligator retained all combat capabilities of its predecessor, as well the entire array of weaponry. it's outfitted with a multifunctional on-board integrated electronic flight, navigation and weapon control system. Its passive/active observation/search and sighting systems guarantee target search and their attack day/night in any weather conditions.

The Kamov Ka-52 Alligator is fitted with uprated TV3-117VMA turboshaft engines. The Hokum-B has distinctive maneuverability, that was derived from it's 2 coaxial contra-rotating main rotors. it's among the most maneuverable helicopters in the world. Armor of the Alligator withstands hits from 23-mm projectiles. Pilots are seated in ejection seats. It also can fly when one engine is disabled.

The Hokum-B contains a battlefield management system. It will exchange information with with similar helicopters or different helicopter types|, as well as third party sources. This helicopter is also supposed as an aerial command post for a bunch of helicopters. It provides target detection and coordinates the attacks.

Mi-24 HIND Combat Helicopter

The Mi-24, the first helicopter to enter service with the Russian Air Force as an assault transport and gunship, was developed on the idea of the Mi-8's propulsion system. extra missions include direct air support, antitank, armed escort, and air to air combat. The helicopter was used extensively in the Afghanistan War, turning into the "signature" weapon of the conflict. The Mi-24 is a close counterpart to the US AH-64 Apache, however not like this and other Western assault helicopters it's also can transporting up to eight troops. The Russians have deployed significant numbers of HINDs in Europe and have exported the HIND to several third world countries.

The combat helicopter is a flying infantry fighting vehicle, that blends features of both transport and attack helicopters. Soviet pilots known as the aircraft 'letayushiy tank' or flying tank. Another common nickname is 'Krokodil' (Crocodile) - because of the helicopter's camouflage and fuselage shape. A characteristic feature of the Mi-24 is a load cabin connected with the flight-deck, which is 2.83 m long, 1.46 m wide and 1.2 m high.

Ka-31 Helix Airborne Early Warning Helicopter

The Ka-31 airborne early warning helicopter based on Ka-29TB base. Originally, this helicopter was known as the Ka-29RLD (Radiolokatsyonnogo Dozor, or a radar picket helicopter). AEW This type first flew in 1988 and was first seen during trials aboard the Kuznetsov vehicle.

The primary mission of the Ka-31 is a detection system in the long-range air and threats of war. This helicopter can track targets over the horizon much larger than on-board radar. It is an important finding for the task of the Navy, whose ships are too small to operate carrier-borne early warning aircraft.

Ka-31 helicopter has been developed based on Ka-27 helicopter on a ship coaxial. Under the floor of the cockpit of transport is not a compartment housing the support mechanism of rotation of an antenna of 6 m span. To avoid interfering with the plane of rotation of the antenna integrated front landing legs retract back up on the flight deck main wise and legs retract upward.

In the stowed position, the antenna is held against the bottom of the fuselage. The search team and attack helicopter Ka-27 designed to combat submarines were dismantled. Instead, a set of radio-electronics has been installed for radar target detection, identification objectives and transmission of water in the air and the data of the status of the control stations based on ships and on land. Ka-31 is based on ships and on land.

The helicopter Ka-31 radar picket is intended to be used to detect targets flying at lower altitude than the altitude of flight, and transmit information from them to the ground and shipboard point for receiving information and also in the light above the water surface.
