The military version of the Ka-62 helicopter is ready but not tested.

38
Holding "Helicopters of Russia" has developed a military version of the Ka-62 helicopter specifically for the Ministry of Defense, reports RIA News With reference to the general director of the company, Andrey Boginsky.

The military version of the Ka-62 helicopter is ready but not tested.




The holding noted the great interest of the military department to the helicopter. At present, the appearance of the future car is already ready, but has not yet begun testing, because Negotiations are underway about the necessary needs of the helicopter.

In the previous state armament program, the release of 150 machines in the military version was laid, but the holding delayed the development of the product.

Ka-62 is a promising multi-purpose helicopter developed by Kamov with a closed tail rotor. The first flight was made in 2016, three flight models are ready for February 2018, reports "RG-Force"

        It is not always necessary to drive the Mi-8, its capabilities are redundant, for which the “younger brother” - the Ka-60 will come in handy, and if the capabilities are not enough, the “older” - Mi-38, will be driven ... In addition, the Ka-60 more quiet and adapted for landing in unprepared places. That is, for landing DRG

          Fenestron is not just a "propeller". The problem is that the gap between the blades and the wall is several mm. Changing the size will either damage the blade or lead to a sharp drop in efficiency. But that's aerodynamics. And then there's technology. Here, the Chinese have a licensed copy of French
          Dauphin. As far as I see, they don't want to get involved with fenestron anymore. A proven scheme with a main and simple tail rotor is used.

      Everything is very logical. Under the Soviet Union, almost all aircraft construction was dual-purpose. Apparently now we are gradually switching to these very tracks. As for the helicopter ... it will most likely partially replace the MI-8 niche of various modifications. Based on the results of the future operation, it is possible that the Ministry of Defense will purchase a large series.

                The opinion is being circulated to take the Ka-62 for trial operation for more complete flight tests, since Russian Helicopters lacks funds for testing. For the Ministry of Defense it will also be an experience in order to understand in what form to use a helicopter in the army.

        At one time, after analyzing the technical specifications, the Kamovites concluded: this helicopter will be in hover mode no more than 1% of the total flight time, therefore, the coaxial scheme was considered redundant. This was the official explanation. To be honest, I personally disagree with him. It would be better to do what they are good at. wink And fenestron was practiced on the Mi-24 in the USSR.

          I disagree. In the TK for the Ka-60, in addition to transport (liaison. Passenger), transport and shock, there was a search and rescue option. And when performing search and rescue operations, hovering is allocated from 15% to 30% of the total flight time. Why did the Kamov Design Bureau decide to switch to a helicopter with a tail? It's just that the total operating cost of a coaxial helicopter is higher than that of a tailed helicopter. Why did you choose fenestron? The main accompanying sound of the helicopter comes from the tail rotor. In flight, the sound from the fenestron is much quieter than that of a propeller. In addition, fenestron behaves better when hovering with a side wind. But KB Kamov does not refuse the coaxial scheme, research is underway to reduce the height of the coaxial rotor hub in order to reduce the weight characteristics of the propeller hub and drag. As soon as they reach the result, they will jump in the helicopter industry.

            In principle, you yourself have confirmed my statement. Since the version of the PS Ka-60 is, more or less, a niche product, hence the figure of 1% for hovering, based on all variants of the machine. This does not mean that the Ka-60 cannot hover for a long enough time, just a coaxial helicopter would do it better.

            Absolutely agree. This is also one of the reasons why the Kamovites chose this scheme.

            As the promising developments of many eminent helicopter manufacturers show, the coaxial scheme is extremely promising and here, as one hopes, the Kamovites have a huge advantage due to the experience of several decades of designing coaxial axles.

            I agree. But "Anzat" was defined as a school desk. And that the reviews are not very good. Better about the Ka-226. But the Mi-2 was used by the troops as a desk, a messenger, and also an RHR helicopter. Anzat was originally a commercial project. Probably that's why it doesn't adapt except as a desk.

        And why is it better?
        The masses of the cars are the same, the speeds differ in favor of Kamovskaya by only 30 km / h, but it takes more miles and rises higher. And if we take the Mi-8 - Mi-17 modification, then in comparison with 14 passengers from Kamovskaya, the Mil car in the passenger version can take up to 26 people.
        Probably, if we take the Mi-8 from the moment when the development of the Ka-60 (1983) began on Kamov, then yes, there is some advantage. But the Ka-8 has no advantages over modern Mi-60 vehicles. Well, apart from the glamorous design "by European standards".

        Well, of course, the Mi-8 family car has been "licked" by manufacturers to a screw. We have accumulated vast experience in operating these machines around the world in various climatic conditions.

        So the prospects for the Ka-60 \ 62 are generally obscure ...

          Listen, why are you taking some kind of Mi-8 ... 17. Take the Mi-26 right away, it can take a lot. But sometimes it is necessary to transport a dozen people, with some kind of cargo, and the main thing is to do it quietly, and drop it there and so that it would not be afraid to lose the helicopter from the fact that it hooks its steering propellers.

            good Each helicopter has its own niche. The lack of an analogue of the UH-1 in the USSR / Russia has always affected. So they drove the Mi-8/17 semi-loaded.

          It is not clear what you are comparing with. Mi-8/17 and Ka-62 are completely different. The maximum takeoff weight of Mishka is 13t, and the Ka62 is 6t, I will not even paint further.
