The promising Russian marine helicopter "Lamprey" want to make a transformer
According to the expert, the Ka-52K is not quite that. Initially, the car was not created as a deck, it was later adapted for these purposes, so it has a number of limitations that are not inherent in the same Ka-27. These points will undoubtedly be taken into account in the design and construction of a new promising marine helicopter aviation "Lamprey".
The holding noted that its weight and dimensions parameters will remain approximately the same as those of Ka-27. "Preliminary studies have been made, we started designing," they added to the company.
We remind you that last year Alexander Shcherbinin, deputy general director of the Russian Helicopters holding company for marketing and business development, said in an interview that the technical appearance of the Lamprey has already been determined. At the same time, Sergey Mikheev, the general designer of the joint-stock company Kamov, suggested that the mass production of the new deck helicopter would begin in about ten years.
