In the US, they are developing a convertible 3 generation

82
At present, the United States is the only country in the world that is equipped with convertible planes. In service with the US Navy and Marine Corps is the convertiplane Bell V-22 Osprey. In the near future, he may have an alternative. Speech is about the convertoplane, which received the designation Bell V-280 Valor ("Valor"). The design of this aircraft was presented to the general public on 10 on April 2013. With the new V-280 project, the company is going to take part in the tender announced by the US Army to create a medium multipurpose convertoplane or helicopter, which in the 2030-ies will have to replace the fleet of obsolete UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The flying prototype of a prospective aircraft will tentatively have to fly into the sky in 2017.

It is worth noting that to replace the UH-60 Blackhawk, as well as the combat Boeing AH-64 Apache, which are in service with the US Army, the V-280 Valor is not the only option considered. Its possible competitors are now called a helicopter with coaxial propellers AVX Aircraft, a joint development of Boeing and Sikorsky, built on the basis of the experimental X-2 and a kind of aircraft under the abbreviation EADS, details of which are practically unknown so far. However, in case of success of Bell, V-280 Valor will be able to replace around 4 thousands of AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and BlackHawk multipurpose UH-60 helicopters. The convertoplan has the following advantages over these machines: high speed, increased flight range, the efficiency of the machine, according to the manufacturer, is 2 times higher than helicopters and their hybrids.

The US military has not yet made formal demands on promising converters and helicopters. At the same time, they nevertheless announced that the new aircraft would have to surpass all existing rotary-wing aircraft in terms of their flight range, speed, payload, fuel efficiency and ability to hang in the air. It is assumed that the new machine will be able to hover at a height of at least 3000 meters, as well as fly at cruising speed at a height of at least 9100 meters. At the same time, the development of such machines will require the creation of universal engines adapted to perform various tasks, as well as a system for providing pilots with oxygen.
In the US, they are developing a convertible 3 generation

It is reported that the new convertiplane belongs to the 3 generation, but according to what specific features Bell Helicopter has divided the convertiplanes into generations, it is not specified. Now the only commercially available device of this type is the tiltrotor V-22 Osprey, most likely, this aircraft belongs to the 2 generation. In this case, it is likely that the first generation of Bell Helicopter will recognize the convertible planes XV-3 and XV-15, which were created in 1950-1970s. At the same time, the company is engaged in the creation of such machines not only for the military. The Americans, together with the Italian company AgustaWestland, are developing the AW609 convertoplane designed for the needs of the civilian market.

Unlike the convertible V-22 Osprey, whose screws were tilted with the engines, in the new American development the engines will be fixed in a horizontal position, and the transition from airplane mode to helicopter mode will be done with the help of tilting the screws alone. The convertible V-280 will receive a straight sweep wing (on the V-22, a reverse sweep wing is used). The wing will be manufactured as a single piece using the Large Cell Carbon Core technology, which reduces the weight of the entire structure and reduces production costs. In addition, this technology allows you to quickly identify defects that occur during operation of the device.

Bell V-280 fuselage will be made of composite materials. Also in the design of the aircraft provided by the electric remote control system (fly-buy-wire) with triple channel duplication and V-shaped massive tail. The use of such plumage will somewhat reduce the effective Valor scattering area, as well as stabilize the flight in aircraft mode.

A key element of the project is to reduce costs and simplify the design compared with mass-produced V-22. The wing of the convertible V-280 will be made in the form of one large composite panel. Also, the base model V-280 will not receive a rather complicated wing folding mechanism, which is used on the marine version of the V-22.

Use on the tiltrotor V-280 rotors with engine nacelles fixed in a horizontal position, eliminates any danger during the departure of paratroopers from the car through the side doors. It also facilitates firing and increases the angle of fire from machine guns, which can be installed in the doorways, during the approach to the target or landing on the ground in case of detection of the enemy. In addition, this design reduces the technical risk, and also eliminates the need to certify the engines of the device at different angles of inclination. Bell Helicopter is confident that the airflow will be located at an intermediate level between conventional helicopters and the V-22 Osprey.

According to published data, the tiltrotor V-280 Valor will be able to develop cruising speed in 518,6 km / h, and its combat radius will be in the range 926-1481 km, ferry range will be 3,9 thousand km. For onboard embarkation and disembarkation of the crew, as well as firing, it is planned to use 2-e side doors 1,8 m wide. V-280 Valor will also receive a retractable landing gear. If we talk about deciphering the name of the car, the letter "V" indicates to us the possibility of vertical take-off and landing, and 280 is the cruising speed of the device in the nodes. The crew of the convertoplan will consist of 4-s people.

It is reported that Bell Helicopter is ready to present the military 2-e basic models of its new convertiplane: impact and transport. The transport version of the V-280 Valor is intended for transportation of a landing force or any cargo to 11 (the maximum carrying capacity of the vehicle is not specified). The radius of the flight zone of the transport convertoplane will be 463 km. The shock version of the convertible V-280 Valor is positioned as a possible replacement for AH-64 Apache helicopters. In the shock version of the aircraft will receive a complex of high-precision weapons in special outboard containers, and in the nose of the apparatus a special gun will be placed on a special turret.

Today Bell Helicopter, in collaboration with Boeing, is engaged in the production of V-22 Osprey converters. This machine can reach speeds of up to 556 km / h, and cruising speed is 446 km / h. The combat radius of this vehicle is 722 kilometers. The V-22 Osprey convertible is able to carry up to 32 military personnel or payloads weighing up to 9 tons. Machine guns of 7,62 and 12,7-mm caliber can be mounted on it, as well as a six-barreled 7,62-mm machine gun in a special outboard container.

It is worth noting that the new convertiplane did not secure a happy future. Until 2030, there are still 17 years left over which much can change significantly. Initially, the US military expected to receive prototypes of a promising rotary-wing machine with a new power plant back in the 2010 year. But because of the start of the global financial and economic crisis and the subsequent reduction in spending on some promising defense programs, the deadlines for their end were shifted to a later time. But even now, being engaged in optimizing the country's budget, the US government has obliged the military to annually reduce their spending (in 2013, by 2013 billion dollars) since March 46. And this can again lead to the postponement of a number of promising projects, and with an unfavorable outcome, even the cancellation of programs.

The Ka-22 rotorcraft, like an ordinary transport aircraft, has a large fuselage, a wing, a tail unit and two engines with pulling propellers. But this machine has two rotors, like a helicopter. Ka-22 can take off and land vertically. The flight weight of the Ka-22 is 35 tons. The speed is 350 km / h.

        A tiltrotor is an aircraft with rotary propellers that, when taking off and landing, operate as lifting, and in horizontal flight, as pulling (Wikipedia)
        The Ka - 22 screws are not rotary, which means it is not a convertolan.

        In addition to the United States, they do not saw the military budget anywhere =) Even Russia is small children in this regard =)
        And about "no one can create"
        "In 1972, at the Mil Design Bureau, a project of the Mi-30 propeller arose, which has a classical scheme with a pair of rotary screws (nacelles with screws and engines). Within the framework of this project, analytical and design studies were carried out, consisting of both theoretical work and tests According to the results of these works, the corresponding studies were made in the propeller project, for example, the takeoff weight increased from 10,6 to 30 tons, with a simultaneous increase in both engine power and payload. The construction of the first flying prototypes was planned for 1986-1995, however, due to the onset of restructuring, the propeller was not built. "

        By the way, compare the osprey and mi-30 =) and also the yak-141 and f-35;) A lot was just bought during the collapse of the USSR.

    The B-12 (also called the Mi-12, although it was not officially renamed, Homer is classified by NATO) is the heaviest and heaviest lifting helicopter ever built in the world. A distinctive feature is the lateral location of the propellers on the wings of the reverse restriction, which are driven by four D-25VF engines.
    The V-12 was developed as an extra-heavy transport helicopter with a carrying capacity of at least 30 tons, for transporting components of intercontinental ballistic missiles for the Strategic Missile Forces, the creation of position areas for which was planned in areas without paved roads.
    The first research on the design of the superheavy helicopter, which received the factory designation B-12, began in 1959. Design began in 1963.
    The helicopter made its first flight on July 10, 1968 (test pilot V.P. Koloshenko). In February 1969, it lifted 31 kg of payload to a height of 030 m. On August 2910, 6, the B-1969 lifted a cargo of 12 kg to a height of 44 m, setting a world record for helicopter carrying capacity, which has not yet been broken. The second prototype V-205 made its first flight on May 2255, 12 (test pilot G.V. Alferov).

    The prospect of replacing the classic helicopter with a tiltrotor looks somewhat unrealistic. Dimensions and take-off mass are one of the main disadvantages of this scheme. And the replacement of an attack helicopter with a tiltrotor is generally nonsense.

        When choosing a landing site for a tiltrotor, you will have to take into account the wingspan taking into account the diameter of the screws. And if Osprey and Chinook are proportional in this regard, then Blackhawk is beyond competition. I mean, the tiltrotor has its own niche, of course, but it cannot completely replace the helicopter.

I am silent about the army - he was not lying around there ... but the "osprey" has been in the ranks for a long time, a civil tiltrotor is ready according to the same scheme (like Agusta Bell). but we have nothing of the kind and is not planned. for that we scream the loudest - how cool and brilliant we are, uryaaa and glory to us ...

        Yes, a helicopter as an aircraft is irrational in many respects, primarily in terms of stability and fuel efficiency of horizontal flight.
        It is respectable to find ways to solve this fundamental disadvantage of any helicopter. The tendency among amers is interesting - they try to come up with various lifting systems for aircraft (there are already Osprey, F-35 VTOL aircraft, several types of UAVs with VTOL aircraft), because the tactical advantages of a non-aerodrome vertical takeoff are landing has not been canceled!

      Have you noticed that there is some kind of failure in your logic? In the article "about the cart with square wheels" you bring up the topic of new technologies. It is due to the fact that this design was recognized as a failure in the still terry years, no one else was involved in it and wasting time and resources on development is just a cut. And at the expense of the new - what is new "there"? I remember only the "suitcases without a handle", which they hung on themselves - it's hard to carry, and taking into account the already sawn funds, it's a pity to throw it away.

    I liked the nacelles very much on this project. It is clear that the selection from the TVD shaft goes to the side rotary gearbox, to which the screw is attached.
    Thus, better alignment is achieved and, possibly, a reduction in the mass of the drives. Everything is easier than turning the entire nacelle.
    By the way, the states unambiguously steer in the field of mechanics for aircraft; all kinds of gearboxes and bearings made of ceramics have been developed, withstanding enormous temperatures and loads compared to steel, and the weight is much less.
    All hope for our nanotechnologists)))

    Kag-be immediately it should be noted that the convertiplanes according to their classification are VTOL. That is, they relate to aircraft with vertical take-off and landing ...
    Turnplanes, of course, a promising area in the aircraft industry. And sooner or later they will firmly and en masse occupy their niche in both civilian and military aviation. But they are unlikely to be able to completely replace helicopters. At least for the foreseeable future ...
    They tried to create a really working hybrid of a helicopter and an airplane for a very long time and in many countries. For example, in Germany, even during the war, a project of an aircraft with rotary propellers was being developed. After the war, tiltrotor designs were developed in Canada, France, Japan and, of course, in the United States. A number of experimental samples were built, but none of them went into series. So "Osprey" is currently the only serial tiltrotor ...
    In the Soviet Union KB them. Mile in the mid-late 1980s was engaged in the development of domestic convertiplanes.

            2. coaxial circuit, in any case, is preferable, because the car nevertheless turns out to be complicated, so at least universalism should be taken to the maximum. In addition, I see no fundamental objections and to install four engines

    [quote = Ilyukha] I liked the nacelles very much on this project. It is clear that the selection from the TVD shaft goes to the side rotary gearbox, to which the screw is attached.
    Thus, better alignment is achieved and, possibly, a reduction in the mass of the drives. Everything is easier than turning the entire nacelle.
    By the way, the states unambiguously steer in the field of mechanics for aircraft; all kinds of gearboxes and bearings made of ceramics have been developed, withstanding enormous temperatures and loads compared to steel, and the weight is much less.

    this scheme is unsuccessful for both the helicopter and the tiltrotor. I will not describe the helicopter, but I can say the following according to the oppressor: with such an arrangement, the large screws in the swivel nacelles quite well blow the wing in horizontal flight in an airplane way, but when taking off in a helicopter way, when this is most important - not very much. And the larger the propellers and the more powerful the wing, the worse. A tempting solution would be to turn not the motors, but the entire wing with them, but then, inevitably, the transient conditions will worsen; and although no one is going to fly in them, it is still dangerous. As far as I understand, the only reasonable solution would be to use 4 engines: 2 - rigidly fixed on the swivel wing (on the wings), and those at the ends of the wings - to make them swivel. Then all the advantages of such a scheme could be realized. During vertical take-off, all 4 engines quite effectively pull the car up, then the rotary wing begins to turn into airplane mode, and those fixed at the ends "remain motionless", continuing to create static thrust. After the wing is in place, they begin to turn. Perhaps there may be some one or two intermediate positions, but these are details; I repeat, no one will fly in transient modes.
    In principle, with this approach, you can probably make the car able to take off and land in an airplane. The only serious drawback, in addition to complexity, is likely to be a very uncertain helicopter flight. That is, takeoff - powerful, but located in line 4 of the engine - is not quite what you need for such a flight. How such a machine will behave in a crosswind - generally the devil knows

      damn, actually there is one more option: 2 engines, as on the osprey, and 2 - on spaced tail fin keels (such as on mriya, ne-2, etc.) Then a completely balanced scheme is obtained in both flight modes. And in the case of the use of coaxial screws, the take-off and landing in an airplane will surely turn out. It will turn out to be all the same harder, but much more functional than the Osprey scheme

    There is an opportunity to lighten the wing.
    There is an opportunity to more successfully control the rotor speed and output power of electric motors.

    the efficiency of the electric motor after the main engine is always lower.

    Efficiency of the electric motor, standing after the main engine is always lower. - I do not argue
    but the ratio of the mass of the two motors to the sum of their output power plus the doubled system of "life support" of the motors, and even through a gearbox, is somehow not practical. (however, what they are rich and happy about is the V-280 Valor, they are now
    no choice)
    lighten the wing - is that how? - the masses at the ends of the wing are smaller; the wing can be made easier.
