The new Mi-26Т2В is ready for state joint tests

Holding "Helicopters of Russia" completed the preliminary tests of the upgraded heavy helicopter Mi-26Т2В. Control tests confirmed the characteristics laid in the car, the helicopter is ready for state testing, reports RIA News with reference to the press service of the holding.

According to the press service, the preliminary flight tests of the Mi-26Т2В were successful. Currently, the Ministry of Defense together with the holding is developing a program of state joint tests (ICG), and according to the plans of the military department, at the beginning of the second quarter of this year, it will begin testing. Serial production, as previously reported, is scheduled to expand this year.

The new Mi-26Т2В helicopter differs from the basic Mi-26 model by the presence of an integrated on-board radio-electronic equipment complex, which is able to automatically perform en-route flight, exit to a predetermined point, landing approach, as well as preparatory maneuvering and return to the main or alternate aerodromes. In addition, the helicopter is equipped with a digital aerobatic complex, an onboard defense complex "Vitebsk".

The upgraded Mi-26Т2В still has an eight-blade main rotor with a diameter of 32 m with a swept area of ​​more than 800 sq.m. With a maximum take-off weight of up to 56 and a helicopter, the helicopter can lift into the air 20 and cargo, both inside the cabin and on the external sling.

According to the statement of the Russian Helicopters, the new modernization of the helicopter is intended for the Russian Ministry of Defense and is not an export one.

.
and this is correct, although when they are adopted and the series goes on, there will probably already be an export version !!

[donavi49]

On the contrary, the Moscow Region looked that the T2 is much more interesting than the cheap version that they ordered earlier. And I decided to order myself. Actually B is a version under MO = export Т2.
6 machines are already in Algeria


Several in Jordan

One thing is not clear in this news. How will Ukrainian engines buy for this helicopter? Through third countries? The domestic engine will not appear very soon.

[Destiny]

You think politically, comrade.

[StudentVK]

We’ll send a reconnaissance group for “languages” to Motor Sich and others. They will quickly come to us and start creating things in Klimovsk))) I hope

Well, so there it seems like PD-12V is planned (according to it, everything seems to be "in full swing") .... In the meantime, "court and business" from stocks MO will put D-136 (like there are enough of them) ....

[donavi49]

Well, at the expense of export - this is a revised version of T2 to the requirements of a domestic customer.

The basic version of T2 - even with Vitebsk = it is for sale. Algeria - 6 cars, Jordan - a few.

[Piramidon]

For some reason, about "Motorsichevskie" engines is modestly silent. So far, I have found that it is supposed to use PD-12V, which will have to replace the Ukrainian D-136, but in the distant 2025.

[Destiny]

Because. Unpatriotic. Urya has nowhere to insert ...

[StudentVK]

So we didn’t declare war on them! It’s they who shout about aggression, but at the same time they want to transit our achressork gas only through themselves, and they also buy fuel from Russia, and so on.

The fools have already amicably minus you, without explaining their minuses. Just because they don’t like it. It’s easier for them to press the plus or minus buttons (they don’t need a lot of mind) than to explain their disagreement.

[donavi49]

There is a certain supply of engines. Orders are pretty small. In fact, after the breakup, they built an 1-2 helicopter (for consumers under sanctions). Therefore - does not burn. Especially for foreign customers (Algeria, Jordan) - they purchase directly.

Yes? And I have information that it seems like it will be by the summer of next year .... Although all this is of course ("with a pitchfork on the water"), maybe earlier, or maybe later ..... In short: "We'll see!"

New, with an old hoof engine.

This leviathan even takes off almost like an airplane.
At the same time, the screw bends slightly. I was quite surprised to see this for the first time.

The takeoff mode of any turntable depends on the takeoff weight. When empty, it will "jump" from its place, and when loaded, it is more economical and safer to take off "by plane".

If in takeoff mode the helicopter can hang at a height of less than one meter.

============
Well, this depends on several factors - on the load and on the height (platform) above "sea level". In Afghanistan, for example - not only "Crocodiles" but also "Bears" sometimes took off like an airplane and even landed (this is true for another reason - dustiness!). On the BV, by the way - also precisely because of the dustiness! There are such places - the "turntable" will hover at 10-15 meters and in a second or two - not like the ground - the "turntable" itself - is not visible !! So they sat down like an airplane (leaving a plume of dust behind ...)

More MI-6 took off like that, heavy cars, there is no way without it here yet.

[faiver]

all helicopters with wheeled chassis can take off both from a takeoff run and vertically

Yes, in general, it does not really confuse him ... Just when taking off "on the front landing gear", the rotor of the rotor REALLY leans forward strongly (of course along with all "verushka") ...
Well, "almost like an airplane" in terms of layman - it's just a "very short run"!
Something like that !!

Cool, I didn’t even know about it, although for thirty years I flew by helicopters.

Actually, the screw does not "tilt" - the screw sleeve is "dead" and the gearbox is also. There is a structural tilt forward and to the right. But each blade can "walk" in the longitudinal, transverse hinges - the "dead" mount is unacceptable due to variable loads. There is also an axial hinge for changing the cyclic pitch of the blade. This is how the helicopter is controlled in roll and pitch - step in a cycle. And there is also a bend of the blade. And so that the casing does not warp or break, the blade is made in sections with gaskets. One-piece spar only. Take a look at the photo - the distant Mi-6 is just accelerating in the plane.

Sobsno thanks for the detailed answer To me as a layman the truth was wonderful as a screw (blades) hop, and bent over, and quite impressive (in the video below from 4.00)

[dauria]

the truth was wonderful

It's not wonderful. It would be even more "weird" if you saw how sokonosity is achieved after replacing a set of blades. Conicity is to make the blades go in a circle exactly in the cone, without falling out of it at low throttle and with "right correction". Take a long stick, tape a piece of Whatman paper with a tube. The tips of the blades are smeared with crayons. They start it - and touch the ends with a drawing paper on a stick. By the lines they see how the blades go. Then adjust the length of the rods from the swashplate to each blade, changing the angle of installation. At the final stage, the plates are bent at the trailing edge of the blade. If one blade falls out of the cone - a characteristic whistle is heard. Yours faithfully...

[faridg7]

I saw this procedure on the LIS - the patient at the specialists also. I would have waved my hand for that time, it’ll come off.

[dauria]

I would have waved my hand for that time, it’ll come off.

So there is a norm - put 20 mm strips for Mi-8, you won’t be screwed. Although I don’t really remember. Ours did directly in part. Artists, damn it.

Great car. I am very glad that it is being modernized and will be operated in the army.

This was an isolated case. And they flew twice a day. Why did I remember, the red-headed captain redirected such a briefing, I don’t remember the 88 or 87 board: Gentlemen, military, welcome to Dangerous Airlines, don’t lean on hatches, don’t touch the sides of the arms, sit on the shmurdyak and don’t twitch that something will happen, pilots will understand without you! Please, whatever happens, stay in place. And here a hundred gavriks sit and watch how the cardan of the tail beam spins, unlike MI 8, where the drive is closed.)))

[Lieutenant colonel]

Those were - if I am not mistaken, 55 and 57 boards. At 55 there was a sign - taxi cab!

Good news. For more such news.
