Motor Sich Company Presents Ukrainian Helicopter in Russia

80
The Motor Sich Company, in the framework of the largest European helicopter exhibition which opened in Moscow, presented a helicopter of its own production, MSB-2.

SME-2 is built on the basis of one of the most honored helicopters in the world stories - Mi-2. However, it differs from its prototype by a more powerful engine: instead of the traditional GTD-350 power units, a modern, more powerful turboshaft AI-450M turbine engines produced by Motor Sich are installed on the Ukrainian helicopter.

Also on the helicopter is a modern air navigation complex. In addition, MSB-2 is equipped with new fuel tanks on the external sling, which made it possible to increase the useful volume of the cargo compartment, increase the ergonomics of the passenger compartment and increase the flight range.

Motor Sich Company Presents Ukrainian Helicopter in Russia


In particular, the range of the machine presented in Moscow is 550 kilometers at a maximum speed of 235 km / h, and cruising - 200 km / h. The maximum take-off weight of the new helicopter is 4 tons. The certificate of the developer of this helicopter, Motor Sich, was obtained in 2011, and in April, 2013 began its testing and preparation for mass production. To certify the helicopter is planned before the end of this year.

The passenger version of the helicopter is presented in Moscow: it is capable of taking on board up to 9 passengers and is controlled by one pilot. Such helicopters are planned to be used to deliver goods and passengers to remote and inaccessible settlements, as an air taxi, for corporate transportation, etc. In addition, Ukrainian engineers developed several other modifications of the MSB-2: machines designed for emergency situations, sanitary aviation, fire extinguishing, processing of agricultural crops.

And for military needs, a modification of SME-2MO was created: in addition to the usual equipment, two weapon farms are installed on such helicopters to house blocks of unguided rockets or universal gun containers.

The estimated cost of the SME-2 helicopter is 1,5 million dollars. At the same time, according to Motor Sich, the total need of Ukraine for helicopters of this type is 400-460 machines, of which 300 is for the needs of the national economy, and 100-160 is for the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fire brigade, sanitary and border services.

    That is, most likely in Poland they "bought out" the equipment for the production of Mi2 and set up production at home ... Well, you say, quite a good move. They spin as they can, there is a lot to learn. It remains only to find out what the prospects for this reincarnation of Mi2 will be. And it is high time already on the territory of Russia to organize the production of its own helicopter engines, especially since there are all the prerequisites for this ...

      Prospects will be for the simple reason than buying an AW in Italy and spraying funds for financial assistance to NATO countries, Ukraine decided to independently produce helicopters of a similar class. Moreover, our president opened the fashion for flying around cities by helicopter.

            Once again, now in more detail Mi-2 is the developer of Milya Design Bureau and its trademark, helicopter manufacturer Poland, and this right also remains with him. Ukraine cannot make any modifications to the Mi-2 design that are not agreed upon with the Developer. This is international law, just like Poland, by the way, and Miles can do anything without them. Now the AI-450 engine as part of MI-2 is being tested at Mila. Ukraine, in order to gain some experience in the development of helicopters, took Mi-2 as a basis, and together with Poland and Antonov Design Bureau plus, during this time Boguslaev trained several young designers at the Moscow Aviation Institute, including internships, who developed this one while the helicopter mock-up is flying under the name MSB-2, and this is their helicopter, therefore what you are talking about does not carry any truth in your remark.

              You absolutely do not own the material. No copyright lasts forever and for a helicopter developed in the 1960's, it has not been extended for a long time. Now Mi-2 can be done by anyone who wants to completely legally. hi

                      Everything was copied there, one to one (there were troubles with the translation from inchey to the metric system), right up to the stand under the stake and the hook on which the pilot had a home camera.

                      Are you again for yours? Mi-2 already in the 1985 year lost ALL of its copyrights. Everything. Another thing is a trademark. If it was registered (which I doubt), then the release of Mi-2 under a different name, for example MSB-2, is absolutely legal. Ask any copyright attorney.

                        Yes, it has already passed, Ukraine (Vinitskiy ARZ) tried to establish production of MI-2 there 3 years ago, they turned to Poland, they sent them to us, (there is no MI trademark in the world), copyright (as a developer) is confirmed, the only thing is that upsetting, according to our tradition, "not to themselves people" were denied. Although they spent a lot of money on creating the production of HB blades, created composite tail rotor blades from 0, and did a lot of things worthwhile for the Mi-2, even a glass cockpit, for the Air Force, a couple of 10 helicopters were installed from the repair fund in a simple configuration, we help GA keep it still in the sky. Yes, people like Boguslaev have to pray, but we are all playing the sovereigns. Here, athletes have recently applied, asking for the Mi-2 to be returned, they are not pulling foreign cars for sports, let's see if Uncle Vova gives the command to return.

              Engines are different, avionics is different.
              The helicopter was invented by the American Igor Sikorsky. he patented the car. He patented the design of the machine itself, a single-screw circuit with a screw swashplate. CB "Mila" - bought a license from him?
              On what basis did it manufacture and produce helicopters?

                  Judging by your style, you just have screams. And yell because you still cannot clearly explain - does the Mil design bureau have a license to manufacture an aircraft similar in shape, design and layout to the device (Vought-Sikorsky 300), patented by Sikorsky in 1939, and even more similar to the S-55.
                  The fool is you. No need to pose as a scholar - any student is aware of the work of Da Vinci. And only a complete idiot can argue that the Da Vinci drawing was a prototype of a modern helicopter. By the way - how long did Da Vinci last in the air? That's it, and the Vought-Sikorsky 300 flew by. With the same success, Da Vinci can be called the first designer of modern tanks. Only such a fool as you can call the prototype of a modern tank is not a Renault FT-17 but a drawing of an Da Vinci armored vehicle.

                  Since you are so well aware of SME-2, then list what is common between Mi-2 and SME-2.

      2. The helicopter was invented by the US citizen Igor Sikorsky, his invention is patented. Does the Mille Design Bureau have a license to manufacture helicopters in general? The very design of the machine, a single-rotor circuit with a screw swashplate is an invention of Igor Sikorsky.
      Or is the Mi - 2 a completely new machine that has absolutely nothing to do with the Vought-Sikorsky 300 created in 1939 and the S-55 created in 1949?

            hey - in the 1 post back you claimed that we don’t have a license, so where did it come from now?

            in 2 Igor Sikorsky was a Russian émigré and the first citizen of his Russian empire, he also studied at Russian schools and institutes, so calling him a US citizen is rather a Russian who acquired US citizenship, but it doesn’t mean that Milevians developed their own turntables themselves, and did not copy from Sikorsky. All parts were designed from scratch - by the way about the details:

            this helicopter has a lot from 2 — for example, a rotor with hinged blades — a copy from the M2, a transmission, all its gearboxes, shafts and couplings — a copy from the MI2 fitted to a new engine, a booster control system with hydraulic boosters in the longitudinal and lateral control channels and control the general step again stripped off the MiNUMX, finally the supporting fuselage structure is semi-monocoque of the 2 parts - and again from the MiNUMX.

              I said that our license is exactly the same as yours.
              That is - no. You also do not have it. The USSR did not buy any licenses for the production of helicopters.
              So, it is foolish to demand a license from someone who himself, at one time, did not acquire licenses. Present the license for the production of Mi-2.

      "Boguslaev always explains his right to modernize helicopters with international practice at the first opportunity:
      - In Europe, a standard has been issued - if the developer refuses to modernize the aircraft for the operator, then the latter has the right to hire a competent contractor to replace any main module. Ukraine has joined the standard. Now we have our own certified design bureau in Zaporozhye, production with ten years of experience. "
      Author support for the MI-2 helicopter was discontinued in the 80s. Boguslaev and his Motor Sich have the right to do whatever they want with this helicopter. In addition, the old Soviet helicopters do not have a certificate of the type of aircraft they were introduced into production by government decree. And the absence of a type certificate removes all legal restrictions for changing the design of an aircraft.

        Almost to a point, only international rules speak of something else, see FAR-21, if the country that undertook this, has in its structure an AT developer recognized by the world community, and in Ukraine there is Antonov, so if Boguslaev wants to certify the Mi-2 internationally standards, with modernization from Antonov (not the main, but secondary) then the flag is in hand, and if Estonia then no one will even speak to it. But there will already be problems with the main one, Miles will be needed. Therefore, Boguslaev went to replace the name (index) of the MBR-2 and Mi-8SBM (and, as they say, MI means Mistyachkovy).

      Mi2 helicopter is very successful. If Ukrainians made a good version based on it, then why not establish joint production? They themselves in any way will not be able to establish production. If they only value their market at 400 boards, how much is needed in Russia? And we ourselves will try to modernize 2k-time we lose. /And more. Maybe they upgraded of course, but did not see it. And didn’t even hear. But to buy helicopters of this class beyond the hill is not an option. A helicopter pilot here - would enlighten ...

          Russian Helicopters Holding Russian Helicopters and CJSC Federal Research and Production Center NefteGazAeroKosmos signed a contract for the supply of 18 new Ka-226TG light helicopters. Deliveries of helicopters are planned for 2013-2014. Under the terms of the contract, 6 Ka-226TG helicopters will be delivered in 2013, the remaining 12 helicopters are expected to be delivered to the customer in 2014. By the time the contract was concluded, the parties had signed the terms of reference and determined the configuration of the new machine. The Ka-226TG helicopter is a modernized version of the Ka-226T, designed in accordance with customer requirements specifically for operation in the Far North and the shelf of the Arctic seas in conditions of poor visibility and sudden changes in air temperature.
          The Ka-226TG helicopter is equipped with a complex of on-board equipment with improved characteristics - KBO-226TG, which allows you to perform work in isolation from the main base, at night, with fog and high-density rainfall. Another difference between the helicopter and the basic modification was the presence of an additional fuel tank, due to which the helicopter flight range was significantly increased.
          The Ka-226TG purchased by the NefteGazAeroKosmos Federal Research and Production Center is intended to be transferred to Gazprom Avia, which intends to use them to patrol the gas distribution system and other infrastructure facilities of Gazprom. Helicopters will also provide corporate transportation, repair work and will be involved in the provision of transport services.

      In the same way, the USSR started production of tanks in its time. When the American "Christie" was taken as a basis, they finalized it by creating the BT, which later (after the creation of the next, more advanced models) made it possible to create the T-34, KV, IS.
      Those that were before the creation of the BT (for example, MS-1) - and that’s not to be called tanks. So, to hell and that bow on the side.

    The Mi-2 was late with the modernization by 20 years. The helicopter itself, as a training desk, is excellent. But in order to certify it for mass use, it must be completely redone, and this will no longer be MI-2. The aviation rules for the creation of helicopters during this time have changed a lot, especially since some of the units of this helicopter in Russia and Ukraine are not produced at all. Yes, the design bureau is able to offer a new transmission and a rotor hub with a swash plate and much more, but this time and money, and they are already on the Mi-2. One option is to put Ukrainian engines on the Mi-2, and allow a helicopter to fly to the Moscow Region and DOSAAF. They are for the whole of Russia and we need no more than 200 pieces, we can handle it, there are still 600 pieces of them all over Russia due to the repair fund.

        Well, okay. But the man is busy with business and does not allow the industry to bend. If he can still make Ukraine a helicopter-building country, then he should be praised. And Yanukovych-p about c.

    Attack helicopter MSB-2

    According to Motor Sich, the total demand of Ukraine is 400-460 cars, of which 300 are for the needs of the national economy, and 100-160 for agricultural structures.

    Just a circus! Especially for the needs of nh! Under the cut budget.

    The niche of helicopters weighing 2-4 tons is the most demanded in the world. In this regard, a design bureau was created at Motor Sich JSC, which will independently develop helicopters of this class.

    .... however, the Russian side does not show interest)))))

    Selling a given helicopter to Russia is like offering an Eskimo to buy ice.
    Without joining the Eurasian Union, Ukraine has no prospects of selling high-tech products to Russia and other countries of the Eurasian Union, and Europe does not need your products.
    An attempt to produce this helicopter in Belarus may stumble upon Mil’s claims regarding the issue of counterfeit goods, and these issues will be resolved in the Customs Union easier, especially in a union state.
    In foreign markets, this helicopter will compete with the Polish clone Mi-2, in the face of a conflict of interest.

      Do not worry so. Ukraine has a lot of layouts. Well, one more will be added to the heap to the scimitar, damask steel, bmp and others like them. By the way, the fifth generation fighter they have not yet decided to do?

      As I understand it, you consider the helicopter and aircraft engines that Motor Sich annually sells to Russia for hundreds of millions of dollars as "low-tech" products. Did I understand correctly?

        Selling while you are not in the EU.

          I read it carefully .... "Without joining the Eurasian Union, Ukraine has no prospects of selling high-tech products to Russia and other countries of the Eurasian Union ..." - and the EU (European Union) will never accept Ukraine. (so that Russia will buy both engines and helicopters.

            Oh, if only, all your parties (except for a few communists) are racing to the EU "away from the Eastern barbarians", while competing who is the strongest to throw mud at Russia.
            Russia is interested in cooperation, but Ukraine is not, the desire to make money in Russia and at the same time to blame Russia is not cooperation.
            Even the association of Ukraine with the EU makes it a kind of offshore for European goods that can flow into the Customs Union without protective customs payments, ruining our remaining industry.

              it feels like the child is being told why planes fly. I would also explain to the children why Russia will buy only engines, but not helicopters.

    Mi-2 has always been in demand both in agriculture and in DOSAF and among athletes. So if Ukrainians pull the serial production, then the Russian Federation will also not purchase them in small batches through private companies. It's all about the final price of the product.

    Russia will purchase the RF Antsat and Ka226, and Ukraine will become a forest
