The "Kamov" announced a way to disperse the helicopter to 600 km / h

67
Russia has found a way to increase the speed of a combat helicopter to 600 km / h. It is reported TASS with reference to the management of JSC Kamov.





The general designer of Kamov JSC Sergey Mikheev claims that his company managed to find a solution by which it is possible to increase the speed of a combat helicopter to 600 km / h. Mikheev told reporters as part of the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2019.

The general designer of the design bureau notes that at the moment "We lag behind the demands that exist." The designer mentioned Boeing, which, together with Sikorsky Corporation, is creating a promising car with a speed of 480-550 km / h. According to Sergei Mikheev, Russian programs do not yet have such indicators. However, he claims that a solution was found at Kamov.

I managed to find a solution, I patented it that a combat helicopter can fly at a speed of more than 600 km / h.

- quotes his words "Interfax".

The main promising Russian helicopter is not developed by Kamova Design Bureau


At present, in Russia, the development of a promising high-speed helicopter is being carried out by Milia Design Bureau. The Kamova design bureau, known for its active use of coaxial circuits in helicopter engines, has also developed its own version of a promising machine, but the Ministry of Defense is the main project of a competing bureau.

The draft design of “Kamov” was a “syncopter” with two main and one thrust propeller. Its estimated speed was to reach 420 km / h. The design bureau is currently developing a new generation Lamprey marine helicopter.

Russian perspective helicopter on the way


A promising helicopter, which is currently being developed in the interests of the Russian Aerospace Forces, should go into production with 2022 of the year. About this when he was commander in chief of the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation, Viktor Bondarev reported. Initially, it was assumed that a civilian version of the machine would be developed, but it turned out to be too expensive for commercial operation, so all the developments were transferred to the military.

At the moment, several countries are developing promising high-speed helicopters at once, since the maximum speed of modern rotary-wing aircraft usually does not exceed 300-350 km / h. At the moment, there is an extremely small number of cars that can cross the 400 km / h bar: these are S-97 Raider in the USA and Eurocopter X3 in Europe.

      The main limitation on the speed of a helicopter is not the shape of the hull (licked not licked) but the propulsion. That is, the most licked form, with the strongest motor and heat-resistant materials, with modern forms of the screw, will not bring anything cardinal.

        The helicopter rotor group already operates under heavy loads, and has a limited resource. Recall that the helicopter is military, so there will be times when, willy-nilly, the pilots will have to cut off the supercritical flight modes. The increase in speed will add loads as if not an order of magnitude. I am afraid that a new scheme of a non-existent-pushing group will need new materials that can withstand the life of the operation, which would be economically justified.

      not 50-70, but an increase of more than a hundred km / h - in relation to the fastest serial helicopters.

      Fundamentally, nothing, since jet supersonic engines have not abolished subsonic and screw engines.

    We are talking about the patent RU168554U1 for the utility model "High-speed combined helicopter (rotorcraft)" https://patents.google.com/patent/RU168554U1/ru

    The novelty lies in the transition from helicopter mode (lift is created by the rotor) to aircraft (lift is created by the wing) when the speed reaches 400 km / h. A single turbofan engine in the first case rotates a screw, in the second case - a fan.

    The utility model will not take off - the air flow descending from the main rotor will press on the wing of a large area and turn over the structure of Mikheev, Nosov and Petrosyan.

    The speed of the helicopter is limited by its main "feature" - the lifting screw. Taking into account the tendency to accelerate helicopters with stupid reactive engines and install, albeit small, wings (for attachments) that have their own lift, at such high speeds, I think, it is worth considering a completely different approach. For example, the blades are fixed in one position, say, with a deflection backward, and then the helicopter operates in airplane mode. Aerodynamics, plumage of the same blades, etc. - everything is solvable.

    The whole thing about "high speed" is in the NON-SYMMETRIC (in flight) lift of the helicopter main rotor (s)!
    As the speed of the helicopter increases, the lift force on the "oncoming (relative to the oncoming air flow)" rotor blades increases, and on the "runaway" blades, accordingly, it decreases!
    And, due to (proportional to the increase in speed) an increase in this difference between them, the helicopter shows an ever greater tendency to roll and overturn on the "runaway" side, which can be somehow compensated (at speeds up to 350-370 km / h) by equipping rotary-wing aircraft also with small lifting wings - high-speed MI-24 is an example of this! Either using a "coaxial scheme" or "synchropter", where the "oncoming" blades are symmetrical relative to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and make it possible to slightly increase the cruising speed.
    Correctly stated in the comments of colleagues that the rotor speed is infinite and a further increase in the speed of helicopters is possible only in an airplane, using additional marching propellers, and the rotor blades themselves are like wings or folding them along the axis of the aircraft (and the incoming flow) and using constant (or extendable) wings!
    It would be interesting to look at this "patented scheme", which provides an increase in the speed of the helicopter of the "coaxial scheme" more (how much "more" ???) 600 km / h, how is it so fundamentally different from the already known similar ones ?! winked

        In my youth, I had a moment of passion for operating models of helicopters (and I almost became a helicopter pilot myself - there was a 100% chance of being enrolled in the school, but fate turned out differently), so I delved into, with youthful enthusiasm, into the subtleties of design, piloting and aerodynamics flight of these interesting machines, I watched the flights of "Ka" and "Mi" for a long time, sat in the pilot training cabins, collected bit by bit any information about the then classified Mi-24, the lightweight prototype of which showed a speed record for helicopters! I know how difficult it was to reach even overcoming the 300 km / h line of helicopter speed and increase each kilometer over "three hundred", and now "over 600 km / h" ?!
        Of course, I was interested in the "patented solution" - and suddenly something interesting, breakthrough ... but at the top, as the respected colleague Avior previously wrote, photos and videos have already been posted, so I did not see anything unusual, all these design solutions use well-known experimental developments of the 60s of the last century, only at the current level of technology and construction materials! Yes
        I was lucky in my childhood and adolescence to communicate with aviation specialists, who began their career in aviation from the first Soviet gliders of the early 20s and all the years lived in aviation, were professionally engaged in it, wrote textbooks and prepared young air frames, so they looked far into the future and these are all current ones. " promising schemes "were already in their drawings then (except that there was no question of" stealth technologies "and" chopped flat surfaces "then - I was taught to achieve" smooth streamlining of all profiles and surfaces "of the aircraft according to the" area rule ").

    Sikorsky S-97 Raider 444 km per hour. Sikorsky X2 - 460 km / h. SB> 1 Defiant - 460 km per hour. V-280 Valor-520 km per hour. Eurocopter X3 - maximum speed - 472 km / h. In the development of the enemy helicopters 800-900 km per hour. Are ours just starting to itch? They are fantasizing. It takes about 10 years to develop a helicopter to launch into a small series. In 10 years, our state-of-the-art helicopters will be 10-15 years old. And there are very big doubts that these developers are capable of doing at least 400 km per hour. For 30 years they have not developed anything for a high-speed one, they just thought. Even if they attach 3 pushing screws and make the retractable wings, the enemies will not catch up. And the cost of the helicopter will be like two American ones. Greed and stupidity will win, for sure. But there is a solution. There is a super technology: patent No. 149598 "Device for controlling the flow around an aircraft." The aerodynamic drag is reduced to zero. Reaching 1000 km per hour in the atmosphere is real. Increases the lifting force of the propeller two to three times. There are the latest technologies: gravity control (vertical movement), inertia control (the pilot does not feel acceleration). It is possible to make an apparatus that surpasses helicopters many times in TX. And the USA has already made such devices.

      That is, the patent is still from 2014. But, something, there is no movement either among the Kamovites or the Milevts.

    - Why are the largest foreign corporations engaged in turntables?

    they are constantly engaged in turntables. already 50 years old.
    Americans have a large share of logistics on turntables, significantly more than ours.
    and their traffic volume is much higher.

    Although our opponents are also seriously engaged in promising helicopters, believing that it is better to have both, and to use equipment, taking into account expediency.

    what good is it to squeeze the maximum out of a rotor that is obviously unsuccessful for speed gain?
    Huge costs for a minuscule effect, as happened with the Comanche project.

    If you fold the screw (so as not to interfere with speed) and add a small jet engine and wings, then it is quite possible to reach 600 or even more km / h.

    if you need to fold the screw, maybe even send it nafig?
    with the development of new technologies for creating multi-element structures and materials, you can already create
    radically more advanced devices
    like membrane wings, ekip, machetes, etc.
    a helicopter with its initially very inefficient propulsion principle should go away, not develop.

    I can’t even imagine anything except a small (worthless) machine with a two-blade rigid propeller, fixed as a straight wing, with a pushing propeller or jet propulsion
