Russian Helicopters announced the timing of the creation of a prototype of the Minoga helicopter

The first prototype of the newest Minoga helicopter, developed on the instructions of the Russian Navy, will take off in 2025. About this in an interview with RIA News said the CEO of the Russian Helicopters holding Andrey Boginsky.

It may take several years to create the first flight model of a new helicopter. According to preliminary data, separation from the ground and "hovering" of the prototype "Lamprey" can occur in 2025-2026.



In five years we will be able to create the first flight prototype that will be ready to make the first "hover". I would be careful to say that we will receive a prototype in 2025 or 2026. This is a large complex of works that Russian Helicopters is carrying out in cooperation with other enterprises of Rostec

- declared Boginsky.

As it became known, the contract for the R&D work on the creation of the Lamprey deck-based helicopter was signed at the Army-2020 forum. Earlier it was reported that the preliminary design of the helicopter had been completed before the contract was signed.

The new carrier-based helicopter should replace the Ka-27 helicopters in service in the Navy fleet since the 80s of the last century. The helicopter is built according to the "Kamov" scheme, i.e. with two coaxial screws. It is assumed that the helicopters will go to the fleet in anti-submarine, transport and landing versions, in contrast to the Katran helicopters designed specifically for use on the UDC, created on the basis of the Ka-52 Alligator, which have a narrower specialization.

      There used to be a "land of advice", but now it is a "land of experiments." Experiments are being made behind the Big Puddle.

      What needs to be done for a long time. I'm glad we got around. After all, it's time to change the Ka-27 - unfortunately, its time to retire has come.
      What is known: Lamprey or Ka-65 will receive two TV7-117VK gas turbine engines with a capacity of 3000 hp each. each. Also, the Lamprey will be lighter than the Ka-27, but its engines will be more powerful. Consequently, the helicopter will be able to take more than the two tons that the Ka-27 takes. This is especially important for the anti-submarine version.

        It's time to change the Ka-27

        From the point of view of the aircraft platform itself, the Ka-27 is an excellent helicopter. Replace the filling on a modern element base (as it is now done) and still serve. But since they are already going to do something new, let them dare. Only the timing is a little confusing. Miles in less than a year, issued a prototype MI-4 (the best transport helicopter at that time), provided that then almost everything was done for the first time. And today, all the developments are there, nothing fundamentally new is invented, the scheme is the same, the engines are available. So what else do they want? However, now it is so everywhere. Any type of "new" (in fact, old, only more sophisticated) technique has been developed many times longer than the same fifty to seventy years ago. And this is at the current level of design automation. Maybe with a drawing board instead of workstations and slide rule instead of calculators, was it easier? In short, a paradox.

          Don't confuse this time with this. You take the simplest Mi-4 and a modern product by modern standards. Now it is not enough to assemble the body and install the engines. It's like taking a first release Ford and a modern car. They are also being developed and brought to mind for more than one year. But in a helicopter the cost of a mistake is much higher than in a car.

      I have more skepticism, knowing ko is in charge of the development of aircraft construction in the Russian Federation.
      Anatoly Serdyukov became industrial director for the aviation cluster of the state corporation Rostec. Now Serdyukov oversees the development of the country's entire aviation industry. As it turned out, previous corruption scandals had little effect on the demand for the former minister in the upper echelon of the elite.
      Serdyukov never dealt with aviation. As Minister of Defense, he, of course, knew about these issues, but had nothing to do with aircraft construction .. Therefore, it is difficult to speak of Serdyukov as an irreplaceable specialist who must reorganize the domestic aircraft industry. The reputation factor plays a clearly negative role.

        That did not prevent him from liquidating a large number of military aviation schools and transferring the Gagarin and Zhukovsky academies to Voronezh, leaving half of the teaching staff in Moscow. request

        Yes, the dates of the last century. As if new opportunities in technology, design and modeling did not appear. But, probably, this is the school of the Soviet and Russian approach to weapons development - for a long time, but reliably and thoroughly, for decades.

              It looks very much like K-226.
              If so, a new helicopter should appear even faster

      Not really a creep, but a parasite.

      but -
      Lamprey, like smelt, is a seasonal dish. Unlike smelt, which rises into the Neva to spawn in spring, lamprey spawns in late November - mid-December. At this time, it is customary to eat it.

        Pavel57 .... Minog, like smelt, is a seasonal dish.

        And what does this have to do with aviation ?! It would be okay to call a fishing boat by that name, but to call a helicopter "Lamprey", is that how much you need to drink while fishing?
        They used to say what you call the ship, so it will float. So I think what will be the fate of the Lamprey helicopter, which has already been given an idiotic name (not at all aviation), and they predict its first "hovering", already in 2025-2026. This is how much one turn of his screw will cost? It is outrageous that "PR" has now become fashionable, not only on the stage and in politics, but in the military-industrial complex and "Roskosmos".

            Well, this is understandable - the whole world knows these large representatives of amphibians, and they have formed corresponding, double feelings with them in humans - fear and interest.
            But the "lamprey", this group of water-parasitic individuals, which is little known outside its population - the Astrakhan region. It is difficult to understand what the person was guided by when giving the name to the helicopter intended for the IMF.
            At the same time, the word "lamprey" is not perceived adequately even by ear. The predominant noun is "leg". In my opinion - the stupidest name for a helicopter. hi

      It seems that they will design a deck-based helicopter from scratch without the accumulated experience of the Kamov Design Bureau!
      There are dimensional characteristics (current hangars and projected ones), there are maximum masses, there are engines. The set of weapons is known.
      We need new avionics, an open architecture CIUS for future upgrades and the possibility of using new weapons.

      It seems to me that it is time to introduce open competitions in our state defense order. To issue technical specifications for competitive design, with the involvement of military and civilian universities, students and cadets will give out so many solutions in a year that you will start downloading, maybe innovations will start. Without a lack of competition (now she was killed by uniting Mil and Kamov), we will wait for the first hovering of the Lamprey for more than ten years.
