Ukrainian company received a patent for a helicopter with a hybrid power plant

99

The Ukrainian company "Vector" has received a patent for a helicopter with a hybrid power plant. The helicopter engine is capable of running on both hydrocarbon fuel and electricity. The company says that the helicopter will be equipped with backup batteries, which will be used in certain cases during piloting, which will ensure safety in the event of emergency situations.

From the statement of a company representative:



In the case of using small backup batteries and automatic emergency landing systems, the reliability of such helicopters will exceed all current safety standards.

Noteworthy is a further statement from representatives of the Ukrainian "Vector". It says that the company is now looking for an investor who could finance the creation of a hybrid helicopter. It was announced that the investments "will be invested in the development of Ukrainian production."

It is added that the company "Vector" is also engaged in the creation of a 4-seater multipurpose helicopter VM-4 "Bumblebee" and other modifications of rotary-wing vehicles, including helicopters for the police and medical services. The director of the company, Yegor Shishenko, speaks of "looking for opportunities to enter foreign markets and foreign investments."

The company says it is striving to create a helicopter that could compete with the Robinson R44 helicopter.

            "Research Institute" of the national battalion "Azov" is not at all that, and not about that No.




            The development of the armored vehicle began on its own initiative in April 2015, the design and construction was carried out by the engineering group of the Azov NSU regiment (head of the engineering group, designer Bogdan Zvarich; chief designer of the engineering group S. N. Stepanov; chief consultant - former chief engineer and chief designer Kharkov Armored Repair Plant N.M.Stepanov, who had experience working at the Malyshev plant; adviser Zaur Berianidze), as well as servicemen of the armed forces of Ukraine who took part in hostilities in eastern Ukraine.

            The project was financed using extrabudgetary funds, donations and sponsorship. The construction of the armored vehicle took place on the territory of the training base of the Azov regiment - in the shops of the Kiev ATEK plant, which had been producing tractors and excavators before bankruptcy.

            The source of the chassis for the Azovets armored vehicle was a bulldozer, previously made from a demilitarized T-64 tank. The GSh-23 guns for installation in tower modules were brought from the combat zone.

          We are not talking about the project at all - they only patented the solution.
          Anything can be patented. Even a quantum reducer for ant-man. Nobody will check the performance. The main thing is that the described method is not previously patented by someone else.

          The project (as a set of documentation) is later, which is also not super difficult. And even R&D only implies that the output should be a result. Including the negative one - "Well, I didn't, I didn't!"

          As I understand it, the key point is the hybrid power plant (engine). And to make the shell at the level of modern technologies - like two fingers on the asphalt (send two bytes).

            That's it ! the same "Motor Sich" All stopped communicating with the damned, ruined under amerskim control, etc. The space industry, IT'S GENERAL tears that they did to it for the evil of Russia !!!!!!

            Take the example of Belarus! They kept production and even increased production to the world level .. The same Belaz quarry 10% of world production and this is a state with a population of 10 million. .Well, tractors and so on all over Russia are hard workers, simple repair and mobile, etc.
            Armaments are also participating in space programs in Russia ..! And as food products from Belarus gost to the provinces rarely reach the provinces, in Moscow EVERYONE eats, and we have the remains ... from the master's table and other Polish artifact ..

      You have a very old idea of ​​the modern capabilities of batteries. This is not an akamulator with a KAMAZ of the 80s. laughing So for example, two friends bought them on their bikes. Only even more modern than what is on the video. Now at work they drive on one charge all day long on detours in the Sochi mountains good
      So their development is really interesting.
      the helicopter will be equipped with backup batteries, which will be used in certain cases during piloting, which will ensure safety in the event of emergency situations.
      It is very interesting and a plus for flight safety.

          I posted a video for you. Have you seen it? You could have imagined this even 20-15 years ago? I am silent about the cordless electric tool.

            I am silent about the cordless electric tool. And the Tesla car?

            specific characteristics: Li-ion accumulators 360-648 kJ / kg
            Kerosene 43500 kJ / kg
            Even with a turbine / electric motor efficiency ratio of 30 to 90%
            the battery loses 40 times ... As soon as the required power (and for a helicopter it is 1 horse per two and a half kg of flight weight) exceeds 5 horses, the electric engine loses its weight and price advantages. It is used only there, where you can't smoke laughing
            And about the reliability is ridiculous. Private traders are not fighting because of engine failure,
            but because of a combination of ignorance and self-confidence.
            As an example - a miniature turboshaft English gas turbine engine for helicopter models under 20 kg.
            2 kg, 10 horses, carrying diameter 3 meters, Fuel consumption: about 180-220 ml / min (at full load)
            Fuel: Kerosene Jet A1, TC 1

          When will you start reading the article? What is the article about? About a patent for an invention! Moreover, the article says in black and white that
          company "Vector" received a patent on a helicopter with a hybrid power plant. The helicopter engine is capable of running on both hydrocarbon fuel and electricity. The company says that the helicopter will be equipped with backup batteries, which and will be used in certain cases during piloting, which will ensure safety in case of emergency situations.
          The helicopter will not fly on electric energy. It will not. And it will not "land" on autorotation. Although it will be able to if the batteries are closed. And on electricity to make a controlled smooth landing. This is the whole point of the article and the invention is. Is it a scratch when everything in its place was not scary or is not a joke, all these delusional comments on this article? Not yours specifically. hi Look around and re-read all the HYIP nonsense. We are on VO. And not on second-rate sites. And what's the difference whose invention it is. Ours or not ours. Ukrainian or Japanese.

            Don't be unfounded. Give an example of the delivery of Su-57, T-14, "Boomerang" to the troops, and much of what they talked about (I can't say any softer) in the news and from the high stands. About all sorts of "Poseidons", "Petrel" and "Peresvet", it is better to keep silent altogether, the real situation there is very bad. They cannot even build for themselves (their own needs) the atomic icebreakers "Arktika" (there should already be three codes for how to surf the open spaces), "Siberia", "Ural".

Or look on the Internet yourself, about the real sector of the economy, about useless pipelines, about the fishing and oil tanker fleet, which was no longer sold under Yeltsin.

    A good idea for light helicopters to ensure a safe landing in the event of engine failure and other problems.
    The batteries will not be heavy - you only need to land the helicopter, it is a matter of minutes, especially if a map of the city with possible landing sites has been drawn up in advance, for air taxi this is important, an emergency happened - he pointed his finger and the navigator took him to the nearest accessible site for an emergency landing.
    The engine will also be compact and light - it is for short-term operation, which means it can work with overload.
    Modern synchronous motors can take a compact form, they can operate at different speeds while maintaining torque, it is possible to put it after the helicopter gearbox to ensure maximum reliability.
    The electric motor will also help in other cases - when climbing, gusts of wind, and so on. This is fuel economy, by the way.
    It seems more logical, it seems, to be produced not in the form of a helicopter, but in the form of an additional device for conventional helicopters, which is relatively easy to integrate into existing helicopters.
    In Ukraine, it is clear that there will be no demand, this is money.
    But in the west it is quite, if it is efficient, of course.

        I know about autorotation.
        But there are many limitations.
        In height, at the place of landing, you will not land to the side, but for air taxi over the city it is important, and not only over the city.
        And the weight of the lines is negative, of course, but the safety will increase, here you can choose what is more important.
        For a helicopter built from scratch, options are also possible - one or two engines, which will save weight.
        It depends on the weight of the batteries and the engine, you need to look in detail.

    Hmm ... I have mixed feelings about this project. I am piloting the Robinson R 44 directly, I will share a couple of points.

    1. First, they have a three-bladed main rotor with a diameter of 8,25 m, while Robinson has a two-bladed main rotor with a diameter of 10 m. This is a different mass of the main rotor, obviously. The three-bladed one is more complicated and more expensive, but also safer (in the sense that it is less likely to cut off the tail boom during maneuvers with unloading the propeller, which are prohibited on this machine). The fatigue characteristics of the two-bladed one are worse (after the fools who, spitting on the airplane transmission line, twist almost "dead loops" on them, can break, this happened), but with proper operation, timely maintenance and replacement, everything is fine.

    Robinson has practically reference weight characteristics for this class (although there are objections, including those flying on them wink ). There is nothing superfluous in it, the effectiveness has been tested by time.

    2. Maximum takeoff weight and payload.
    Robinson has 1089 and 380 kg.
    The "competitor" has 1000 and 480 kg.
    Think, correlate ...

    I dare not believe it! More than 100 kilos added for investors, at least bully

    2. The question of engines.
    Robinson:
    Lycoming O-540 with 260 hp - good engine. Trusted him with my life wink
    He is there alone, carburetor or injection (Raven I and II). Fuel
    100LL.

    The vector "miracle":
    Motor fatigue, c.s. 2 x 145 = 290...
    At the same time, they write about both 100LL and diesel - they are different, with different weights. There is no certainty.

    That is, it is twin-engine according to the project!
    This is taking into account the declared take-off weight and dimensions ... DOSVIDOS! Their parameters are unrealistic.

    Plus, there is no hybridity on the site. So what can be with investments.

    3. Pleased with the doors opening upward in the form of a horizontal plane! lol Right under the rotor! This is a bomb laughing
    A blow to the head is assured ... The pilot introduced a correction, who did not leave the evil Pinocchio himself.
    Well, with such doors, you cannot evacuate and do not jump with a parachute - in flight they will not be opened, you will have to overpower the flow from the main rotor.


    In general, there is more to say, but enough for now. It is damp and somehow amateurish things are there.
    Although this is the first attempt, it is usually not very successful for everyone.

      It is important not even to build, but to achieve competitiveness and efficiency. And the question is the price.
      Well, plus what kind of avionics to install - the price / quality ratio strongly depends on it.

      This was one of the problems of the Soviet aircraft industry (which I am, of course, proud of, and which I value and respect).
      Penny kerosene, its own closed system of flights and services, very high internal standards - everything worked like a clock.

      But competition in secondary (!) Parameters, such as noise, efficiency, comfort of a three-class cabin layout (where serving on good dishes, French cognac, champagne, etc.) turned out to be a problem for our aviation industry. I'm not talking about collusion with foreigners to break it down negative

      And in the post-Soviet space, it can be done efficiently, efficiently and inexpensively, but for our market (the experience of China once again confirms this).
      The An-2 and Mi-2, for example, were good, but not so glamorous.

          The main part of the mass - the copper of the windings and the iron of the stator, is outside the rotor and will not affect the moment of inertia.

              If half the engine power - 130 HP is enough for landing, in fact I am sure that less, let the experts correct me, this is 100 kW ,.
              In short-term operation, a synchronous machine provides an overload 3 times, and sometimes more.
              That is, you need a motor with a continuous power of 30 kW.
              A general industrial synchronous motor of this power weighs 40-45 kilograms, a special one will not be worse, but clearly better in terms of performance.
              What batteries are needed?
              We consider 100 kW of power to be provided for three minutes, that is, you need 5 kW * h.
              A good 35000 mAh powerbank is 100 W * h. (I do not propose to power the helicopter with powerbanks, just for clarity of calculating the capacity, volume and weight of the required batteries). That is, to provide 100 kW of power, three minutes for an emergency landing requires energy equivalent to 50 power banks.
              As in my opinion not so much, it is quite realistic if security requirements are met.
              And how it really will be, we'll see, time will tell.

    To carry an electric motor and a heavy battery instead of an additional tank and a second engine is not only useless, but bordering on insanity - everyone is fighting for fuel efficiency, and then it is voluntarily eliminated. At the same time, the reliability of the main units does not change, but rather completely decreases.
