The Tu-22M3M missile carrier passed the test at supersonic speed

The next stage of testing the second flight model of the Tu-22M3M strategic bomber is reported. We are talking about a deep modernization of the missile carrier, which includes new aircraft avionics.

Information Service TASS, citing a source in the defense industry complex, reports that the Tu-22M3M has passed supersonic tests.

It is noted that the missile carriers of the upgraded versions have already completed five flights. During the fourth flight, the test specimen reached the supersonic speed without problems. Reportedly, the strategic missile carrier, created for the Russian Aerospace Forces, in flight on supersonic aircraft demonstrated stability and excellent controllability. All avionics avionics worked in normal mode.

Now the specialists of the aircraft manufacturing enterprise are evaluating the data that were obtained during the “supersonic” flight test. Such an analysis will allow us to conclude that the combat vehicle is ready for the next phase of airborne testing.

According to the latest information, the preliminary test package will be completed for the Tu-22M3M this year.

According to the latest information, the preliminary test package will be completed for the Tu-22M3M this year.

It would be nice if there were again no shifts in the right

[Timon2155]

Good of course. Glider with the old engines, not very changed. What is the essence of the news?

[Sky strike fighter]

So this is modernization to the level of Tu-22M3M, and not the construction of new bombers. That is why the glider is the same. Over time, the engines will be changed to the new NK-32-02.

Long-range Tu-22M3 bombers are massively modernized at the Kazan Aircraft Building Plant. This was announced on May 26 by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in talks with Vladimir Putin.
“We have a modernized equipment - Tu-22. These are actually new aircraft, I will not be distracted by technical details. They are being massively modernized at the Kazan plant, ”the head of the military department reported to the president via video link.

Glider with the old engines, not very changed. What is the essence of the news?

you take the word "glider" too literally.
In fact, when installing new equipment, the aircraft is tested in various flight modes. The operation of the systems and the controllability of the aircraft are checked using new control modules.

[novel66]

well, he was supersonic ??? what's the news ?? hydraulic drive in conditions of supersonic fail?

Yes, if you changed the ABSU or some kind of shift it already requires testing.

Calculation by calculation, but it is better to confirm and verify in practice. If we rely only on calculations, then then the tests can be omitted?

[novel66]

of course, but it's just a flyby system called

These are the nuances of terminology. We started a dialogue not with terms, but with your comment

well, he was supersonic ??? what's the news ??

That is, you have expressed doubt that the equipment needs to be checked by flying around (testing) it including supersonic.

[novel66]

it is necessary to check, not a question, but something special is to inflate from this ... well, the working question!

[Piramidon]

What is "flying" an airplane? This is, by and large, a TEST flight.

[novel66]

well, we are in the 95th. all the time, something from the electronics was changed, every six months - a surefire and the flight after that was called "system flyby"

[Piramidon]

Control flight and test flight, in essence - synonyms. Only professional aviators distinguish nuances. Well, you showed your belonging to them. The article is intended for the eyes of the mass user. I consider that it is not necessary to find fault and indignation.

[novel66]

Yes ! it's me, showing off ..

[ancient]

Quote: Piramidon

Control flight and test flight, in essence - synonyms.

Well, no way .. they have never - a Control flight is a flight to check the operability of systems and assemblies, and a Test flight is a flight to check whether the calculated characteristics match the actual ones.

[Piramidon]

Quote: ancient

Well, no way .. they’ve never-a Control flight is a flight to test the performance of systems and assemblies, and Test is flight to check compliance of calculated characteristics with actual.

Suppose we calculated, manufactured and installed a new radar. It is necessary to check in flight the correspondence of calculations to real possibilities. What to call such a flight?

[ancient]

Quote: Piramidon

What to call such a flight?

Of course test on the topic "Testing the RTS and radar on ...." (well, there are many flights on different tasks

[Ka-52]

well, we are in the 95th. all the time, something from the electronics was changed, every six months - a surefire and the flight after that was called "system flyby"

such a flight did not become regular. You take a tester or in the instructor’s cabin.

[novel66]

ordinary comasque or from flight regiment deputy flight, engines and glider did not touch electronics alone

[ancient]

Quote: Ka-52

such a flight did not become regular. You take a tester or in the instructor’s cabin.

Not once ... When you accept at the factory, you fly around the accepted plane (after repair). according to the Acceptance Test Program by its full-time crew (which is naturally admitted to such types of flights, overflights and flights).
When delivering a new pre-production car, only testers fly (LIIyevsky on the right, and GLITsevsky on the left).

[ancient]

And new stations do not need to be checked,

Which stations?

[Piramidon]

Which stations?

Those who installed. Well, for the most meticulous, let there be not stations, but equipment, in the broad sense.

Well this is a completely different matter

But it wasn’t easier to disperse these new stations in a centrifuge to find out how exactly the speed affects them ???

[Piramidon]

Quote: Elephant

But it wasn’t easier to disperse these new stations in a centrifuge to find out how exactly the speed affects them ???

Is that your banter? Set the centrifuge at an altitude of 12-15 km to check the range? + Moreover, in a centrifuge at such a speed, centrifugal force will crush all equipment.

[Elephant]

And here the height, there are only two factors - temperature and discharged air. And centrifugal force - why not. During a maneuver, such as avoiding a rocket, centrifugal forces arise.

[Piramidon]

Quote: Elephant

And here the height, there are only two factors - temperature and discharged air. And centrifugal force - why not. During a maneuver, such as avoiding a rocket, centrifugal forces arise.

The range of the same sights, locators ... depends on the flight altitude. And centrifugal forces, if the centrifuge is theoretically accelerated to supersonic speed, will exceed all permissible overloads. Centrifuges for training pilots and astronauts have a linear speed of up to 250 km / h (far from supersonic sound) At this speed, overload reaches 30g

[ancient]

Quote: novel xnumx

well, he was supersonic ??? what's the news ?? hydraulic drive in conditions of supersonic fail?

These flights are to check the receivers of statics and dynamics as well as LDPE, as the configuration of the fairing changed.

[Elephant]

I think these results can also be obtained in a wind tunnel !!! But maybe we are not looking for easy ways and do not count money.

[ancient]

Quote: Elephant

I think these results can also be obtained in a wind tunnel !!!

Yes, this is done, because the main part of the "strength" tests takes place on the ground and then strength constraints are "laid down", and in the air they already check the compliance of the calculated values ​​(of course, up to the operational values, although very often it happens ... much more ) for compliance with the actual parameters.

[ancient]

Quote: Ka-52

you take the word "glider" too literally.

Timon2155 (Timur) basically put the question normally (as a person who is not very dedicated to the "subtleties" of the process).
Normal flights according to the program of flight tests for "crimping" from RIAT, part 1, the program is literally called "Evaluation of strength characteristics; Flight strength tests".
And what you are writing about, dear, this is already "Assessment of stability and manageability"

[Lozovik]

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

So this is modernization to the level of Tu-22M3M, and not the construction of new bombers. That is why the glider is the same. Over time, the engines will be changed to the new NK-32-02.

It's impossible. Engines have different drive boxes, different attachment points (for their nacelles), different control systems (ESUD-25, ESUD-32), different nozzles (ejector and self-made) ... In short, they are not interchangeable.

[ancient]

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

. Therefore, the glider is the same. Over time, the engines will be changed to the new NK-32-02.

You will not in any way "stuff" the NK-32-02 into the "boxes" of the NK-25 on the current Tu-22M3 glider. will have to redo a lot.

[Elephant]

Indeed, not everything is so simple, we do not have flexible production.

[VO3A]

These are actually new aircraft, I will not be distracted by technical details.

Another storyteller, stupid, also the president ...
New airplanes have a designated resource of about 30 years ... with the possibility of renewal .. It is very interesting to these old-new airplanes what resource is given for repair for 5 years or more, or maybe an extension every year or something else was invented for these outdated dinosaurs with an ancient design ... Maybe someone has information?

[Lozovik]

Quote: VO3A

New aircraft have a designated resource of about 30 years ...

The service life is 25 years, the assigned resource is measured in hours.

[VO3A]

Another ICE ... Funny ...

[Lozovik]

NIAS-78 or NIAO-90 to help. Did you find out the assigned resource of the aircraft 45-03, finally?

[VO3A]

Well, well, help yourself to restore the memory ... And in years and in hours resources are measured ... If in hours it is tight, then in years usually before the next repair the figure is + 1 year ... I have C52, C54, T6, T8 T10 closer ...

[Lozovik]

Quote: VO3A

Both years and hours measure resources

From the current FAP IAO:

34. The following assigned durability indicators are established for aircraft:

the assigned resource before the first repair (the total operating time established in the regulatory documentation from the commissioning of the AT sample to its transfer to the first repair, regardless of the technical condition);

designated overhaul life (the total operating time established in the regulatory documentation from the completion of the repair of the AT sample to the direction of it for the next repair, regardless of the technical condition);

the assigned resource before decommissioning or the full resource (the total operating time established in the regulatory documentation from the commissioning of the AT sample to its final decommissioning, regardless of the technical condition);

the designated service life until the first repair (the calendar operating time specified in the regulatory documentation from the commissioning of the AT sample to its delivery to the first repair, regardless of the technical condition);

the appointed overhaul life (the calendar duration of operation specified in the regulatory documentation from the completion of the repair of the AT sample to the direction of it for the next repair, regardless of the technical condition);

the assigned service life before decommissioning or the full service life (the calendar operating time specified in the regulatory documentation from the commissioning of the AT sample to its final decommissioning, regardless of the technical condition).

Why then write, just do not know?

[VO3A]

calendar operation time

What are they telling you ... Can you read?
The nit-picking is small ... An airplane does not always produce the assigned resource within the service life, and then repair and write it off by year ...

[Lozovik]

FAP IAO establishes longevity indicators - resources and service life. Which of these is incomprehensible?

[VO3A]

I’m all, do I ask questions? Someone has a short haircut !!! I’m interested in the possible resource of these old-new Tu-22M3Ms ... And not your demagogy with the accuracy of the definitions ... And even more interesting is who will give this resource from the point of view of the law ... The plant has no right, and the research institute can only extend the resource for a certain time and a raid ... Now it is clear ???

[ancient]

Quote: VO3A

I'm interested in a possible resource of these old-new Tu-22M3M.

I already answered you with numbers -
designated overhaul resource - 3000 l. hour. (1500 landings);

This is not demagoguery, but .. "pulling you out to clean water" ...... do not move out .... it will not work

Quote: VO3A

And even more interesting is who will give this resource in terms of law.

All the same as before - according to the results of research and work carried out by the design bureau and the plant, a decision is made, which (previously approved by the Federal Air Transport Agency) is now the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.

You are stupidly calling CALENDAR TIME .... RESOURCE.

Oh how are you .. arrogantly as well Lozovik 100% right
Dates in years, resources in hours (as well as in flights and landings).
What’s funny ... or from what you don’t know?

[ancient]

Quote: VO3A

New aircraft have a designated resource of about 30 years ..

It was 25 years with ... further extension in technical condition.
At the moment, a decision has been made (by all interested departments and organizations) that, based on the results of the next repair, the products should have an overhaul life and a calendar life up to the next repair, equal to the overhaul life and the life of the main facility:
- designated overhaul resource - 3000 l. hour. (1500 landings);
- The appointed interrepair period of operation is 10 + 3 years.

[VO3A]

the overhaul life and the calendar life are set until the next repair

In fact, an overhaul resource or a calendar period, because repairs are carried out on the first event ...

[alexmach]

Over time, the engines will be changed to the new NK-32-02.

With time? Well, obviously not for that. For him, this is most likely the last modernization.

Most likely, instead of Daggers, the Tu-22M3M will carry 8 GZUR or 8 X-50.6 inside and 2 on external suspensions.
All the same, the dagger is heavier. About 4 tons weight. And it will turn out in the best case to carry 4 daggers on external suspensions. With this option, the radius of combat use of the Tu-22M3M will suffer. So GZUR and X-50 are preferable.

In the turret Tu-22M3M 6 KP and 2 more KP on two wings - 1 KP on each wing.
5 Daggers will not work. Only 4.

In addition to the Kh-32 missiles, the Tu-22M3M will be able to carry up to four hypersonic Kh-47M2 Dagger missiles. As Popular Mechanics, popular in the West, noted, such a combination will allow the Russian Aerospace Forces to strike from long distances without entering the enemy's air defense zone. The author of the publication emphasized that with a bomber flight range of 5,5 thousand kilometers and a Dagger flight range of 1900 kilometers, the Tu-22M3M is capable of destroying a target at a distance of up to 7400 kilometers from the home airfield.

The dagger is both heavy and great.
And the speed of the Tu-22M3M is not like that of the MiG-31.
It seems to me that the GZUR, which they recently wrote about what they experienced, will be put on.
It is smaller in size and weighs about 1,5 tons.

I remember Samara specialists came to the NK-22 after 800 hours of operation and directly carried out a set of work to extend the resource by first 100, then 50 hours, without losing altitude and speed characteristics.

By the way, the production of the E-Series 2 product has nevertheless been decided to resume.

Since the changes caused changes in the name of the modifications, new elements are added to the abbreviation, and therefore, the changes are significant.
