Russian multipurpose Ka-62 helicopter will receive a new avionics control system

The Russian Ka-62 multipurpose helicopter will receive a new and improved avionics control system. The novelty will be presented at the MAKS-2021 International Aviation and Space Salon.

As explained in KRET, the new general helicopter equipment control system (SUOVO) will reduce the workload on the crew, reduce the weight of equipment used in the helicopter and facilitate helicopter maintenance. It is modular and allows for easy block replacement. The development of the SUOVO specifically for the KA-62 was carried out by Aeropribor-Voskhod, which is part of KRET.

Currently, three copies of the new system are being manufactured, which will be transferred for flight and qualification tests by the end of the year.

The Ka-62 multipurpose medium helicopter was developed on the basis of the military modification of the Ka-60. Designed for cargo transportation, emergency medical aid, aerial work and surveillance.

Cruising speed - 290 km / h, maximum - 310 km / h, service ceiling - 6100 meters, max. flight range - 760 km, with add. with tanks - 1135 km. Max. takeoff weight - 6800 kg, max. payload on the external sling - 2500 kg, in the cab - 2000 kg.

Did the Kamovites refuse alignment? where the world is heading ...

And I like the helicopter, it's very beautiful.

there is no bazaar, but what about the principles

There is only one principle - expediency.

[novel66]

expediency is just unprincipledness, you can justify anything to it

Roma is probably a question of cost, the coaxial scheme in production is much more expensive, and the characteristics ..., well, managers are managers, and even + exam. It is difficult to calculate the cost of subsequent operation in real use, but putting 999.99 on the price tag seems to be more important.

It's interesting to me too! It seems to have always differed in this scheme of screws and on you! The helicopter is nice, but Mil has the same characteristics.

In addition to coaxial and single-screw circuits with a fenestron, they also developed a circuit with two crossed rotors, like the Kaman K-MAX

It did not end well for them. The first single-rotor helicopter of the Kamovites, the Ka-60, has been developed since 1984 (and is being developed, and is being developed ...). Its civilian version - mentioned in article Ka-62 - from 1990.
In terms of time - practically "Osprey".

[bayard]

At first, the funding stopped, then, when they resumed and decided to put the Ka-60 on the Mistral as an amphibious assault, the line was already being prepared ... well, the civilian version ... THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED - sanctions and refusal to supply engines.
And with aircraft engines with us ... as always, it's just wonderful with us with aircraft engines.
And Motor Sich is no longer among the suppliers either.
Therefore, it is very interesting what engines will be on these very first three Ka-62s?
For the domestic ones have been promising him for how many years, but neither in 2018, nor in 2019, nor in 2020. the miracle did not happen.
Maybe there will still be a breakthrough?
And the helicopter is good, just such we have lacked since Soviet times - the middle class. For the Ministry of Emergency Situations, oil / gas workers, polar explorers, border guards, medical aviation, for various administrations to fly back and forth across the provinces, and for the Army and the Navy, this will not be superfluous either.

Try to compare

with this one.

[novel66]

a little similar, so now all devices with the same functions are similar, computer simulation, you know

=======
Firstly, this is a very old project, and secondly, it is far from the only "Kamov" project of the "classical" scheme!

Pictured: WZ-10 China attack helicopter. Developed by Kamova.
Serial cars differ slightly from the project.

And here is some of the history:
One of the first Soviet "heavyweights" Ka-22 (1960):

As you can see, it is also not a coaxial scheme. There were other projects ...

[Wedmak]

Am I missing something, is this helicopter already in production? Everyone carried him to exhibitions and somehow there was no interest.

[donavi49]

He has no certificate. Transfer certification. Right now, until the fall of 2021. Judging by the fact that there is no positive news, they will probably roll over to 22 again. Started in 2018.

[Marachuh]

For a long time it was not heard about this project. I wonder how much it is in demand at all? The Europeans have their counterparts, in our country they operate the Mishka mainly.

[donavi49]

In general, they are going to shove him according to fed programs, like you want, you don't want to, but you must buy.

Well, in general, they steal there as always:
TASS: Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has initiated proceedings on embezzlement for 3,6 billion rubles in the creation of the Ka-62 helicopter
The Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) opened three criminal cases of embezzlement in the amount of 3,6 billion rubles. during the construction and design of the Ka-62 helicopter, TASS reported, citing a source. According to the agency's interlocutor, cases were initiated against officials of the Russian Helicopters holding, the Kamov company and the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Lieutenant General Nikolai Gryaznov, former deputy general director of Russian Helicopters holding company for security and the amount of the alleged damage. “I believe that the internal investigations that our security service conducted, the materials that we received, indicate that there [in Russian Helicopters] there were colossal thefts during the construction and design of helicopters,” he said.


However, the problem is different, its priority operators did not wait and bought something else:
Oil workers have invested in HeliVert and fly on Agusta.

Sakhalin-2 was also purchased by Agusta

Gazprom bought imported Watermelon and Agusta.

Also, the Mi-171A3 program is now at a rapid pace - a special helicopter for delivering watches to towers. They also invested in him, and he is making good progress, because Ulan-Ude already has a strong team and an experienced base. Plus, there is suddenly a small dependence on imports in the database. That is, you can even fly on Boyko's wrung-out towers - and no one will be able to kill the supplies.

As a result, sales of the Ka-62 will face great difficulties, since the main market has already been purchased and has a fresh fleet. What remains is the budget and subsidized regional AKs.

I wonder how much it is in demand at all?

- in demand, sanitary aviation, for example, in our north, for the sake of one emergency patient, eight are driven

[Marachuh]

I think dignity aviation is much cheaper than ka 226

[VO3A]

So there are no engines !!! We have to wait until 2024, but today we need to fly ... Mi-8 and that's it, but there are no engines for lighter helicopters ... similar ukrodvigateli?

We have no analogues in this weight category. Therefore, if we move away from the import of analogs, then this device is in great demand. The bottleneck, as already mentioned, is the engines.

[Dmitry Vladimirovich]

Helicopter, salon - 15 seats.

Thumbs up.

[Zaurbek]

Would make it some kind of "high-speed" helicopter. Aerodynamics is good .... TVD, still not yet, there is time for experiments. Accelerate up to 400 km / h and put it into series production with such a competitive advantage.

[alexey2073]

Development of the Ka-62 began in 1990. It was designed as a civilian modification of the Ka-60 multipurpose military transport helicopter, preserving the design features of the military model, including engines. New RD-600V engines manufactured by NPO Saturn were specially designed and installed for the helicopter. The full-size model of the helicopter was first shown at the MAKS-1995 air show. Since then and to this day, with interruptions, it has been brought to at least something .... In 2012-2013, it was planned to release an experimental batch of 4 cars. Neither he nor the Ka-60 is in the series yet. There is infa that the production of these machines is being deployed at the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant,

Well, the mock-ups of the engines remained on the mock-up. It is being certified with Ardiden 3G + Zoerkler gearbox.

I thought about the Ka-60 (if I'm not mistaken, "Killer Whale"), looked at the comments, saw yours, there is nothing to write. Plus to you.

[Castro Ruiz]

Better bi Lamprey was brought to a regular one. She needed a beat yesterday.

[Voltsky]

and where is he, and how many of them have been produced and how many come off the assembly line?

[lopuhan2006]

The helicopter is already obsolete, since the main project was originally created for those other requirements, and these are weight characteristics, and avionics, and engines. And now competitors are so licked and brought to mind that he has a minimum of prospects in the commercial market. Remains the Ministry of Defense and the state structure. For the Navy, the load is weak, because its avionics are heavy, and also a torpedo to carry, but buoys need to, for the Border Service of the Roads, for the Air Force Ansat has enough and the Mi-8 engine to transport, so it turns out that its niche is narrow, well, of course, the engines. It's just that for today this project allows you to draw some money from the budget, and that's why they bother it.

[yoshkovoleg]

Typical promise.

[Victor Gubankov]

How many of these helicopters are there? One prototype?
