US Navy signed a long-term contract for the supply of Osprey submarines V-22

US Department of Defense announced the conclusion of the Command aviation systems of the US Navy with the Bell / Boeing consortium of a long-term contract for the supply of V-22 Osprey submarines.

The total cost of the agreement is 4,894 billion dollars.

In accordance with the terms of the contract, the Bell / Boeing consortium should supply the 92 MV-22 PLA for the Marine Corps and 7 the CV-22 PLA for the US Air Force for a five-year period. All work under the agreement must be completed by September 2019. Cost of supply in the interests of the Air Force, Navy and MTR US in 2013 FG will be 326,699 million dollars.

The agreement also includes options to supply 23 additional hinge plans, including 22 MV-22 and one CV-22.

According to the assessment of the US Navy representative James O'Donnell (James O'Donnell), a long-term agreement will allow the Navy to save up to 1 billion dollars compared to annually concluded contracts.

The command of the aviation systems of the US Navy plans to purchase a total of 50 units. CV-22 for the Air Force, 48 MV-22 for the Navy and 360 MV-22 for the USMC.

Currently, Bell / Boeing are implementing the first long-term contract for the supply of V-22 submarines during 2008-2012 FG, which provides for the production of 174 convertiplanes: 143 units. in version MV-22 for KMP and 31 units CV-22 for USAF MTR. The contract initially included the production of X-VUMX converters V-167 Osprey with a total value of 22 billion dollars, but then 10,4 additional submarines were ordered, including 7 units. for Air Force and 5 units for KMP USA.

The possibility of concluding a third long-term contract for the supply of convertiplans to 100 (including 48 units for the Navy) is currently being discussed.

The second long-term agreement provides for the possibility of starting the delivery of the V-22 PLA to foreign customers. In April, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced plans to sell Israel’s convertoplanes. In turn, Boeing announced its interest in purchasing the Osprey V-22 PLA from the armed forces of Canada, Germany, Japan, Norway and the UK. According to Bell Helicopter, sales can be realized in 10-12 countries.

V-22 is the first multi-purpose combat aircraft, using the technology of rotating engine nacelles with a rotor. It is capable of performing both horizontal flight at high speed over a long range in an aircraft-like manner, and vertical take-off, landing and hovering, like a helicopter.

I wonder if the engine fails, he will be able to plan on the wings?

You look at the photo and envy takes And the numbers are astounding that the planes are riveting in the hundreds, here OSPRI is about 150 pieces. Enviously

And the national debt continues to grow, sinking the country's economy deeper and deeper, and hoping in the future to "emerge" through military action. Or they may drown, having shit on the rest.

Envy turns out to be superficial, philistine. Experienced...

Forgot: they are not riveted, but they intend, a big difference. Neither donkey, nor sultan (or padish, I do not remember) can reach 2019.

Maybe, along a steep trajectory, that is, right to the bottom.

[B_KypTke]

Vertical take-off / landing is carried out when the engine nacelles are at an angle of more than 85 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the machine. Translational flight is possible if the engine nacelles are located within 0-85 degrees. The flight "on an airplane" is carried out at a zero angle of installation of the nacelles. Osprey is designed for takeoff and landing with one engine running. VTOL is not able to perform these operations on an airplane.

The modern mentality of the majority of Russians living in Russia is obs.iran.ie other people's achievements and the search for excuses for their failures !!!!

Instead of admitting that the Americans were able to create a good car that flies and ask the question "why can't we?"

only audible from all sides with slyuniavim squeals "s, ga.vno, and so on.

Instead of adopting all the best that others have, to learn something, there isn’t the easiest way to do this from head to toe !! Or say that Jews are to blame for all Russian troubles !!!

Na.sra.l someone in the entrance or in the stairwell, so it's to blame !!! Nas.tsa.li in the elevator, so the Jews did it !!

Someone parked a car in a freshly planted flowerbed, so these are aliens !!!! We drew a phrase from the Great Mighty Russian language on the wall -so these are also some kind of saboteurs !!!

And everything is quite simple, so that something changes and appears, then you yourself need to make an effort and not make a mani of heaven ....

Why can Chinese visitors to the Kuban grow cucumbers, but not Russians? And because the Chinese want to earn money and therefore work hard, and the Russian Vanya in the Kuban got drunk and lazy and does not want to hunch his back in the field.

Why were Russians killed in Chechnya even though there were more at that time? Because Everyone was on his own, everyone was shaking with fear, and some managed to bring an ideological base to this cause, saying, “my house is my fortress”!

Why in Russia there is oil, gas, gold, metals, in general, the entire periodic table, but do you have to pay for utilities, as in countries where there is no gas, oil?

Because everyone is trying to seem smart! How to become smart? To become smart, you need to call other fools !!!!

Instead of obsi. Scold and blame others, they would take care of their country. Even start with yourself ... Go in for sports, stop drinking, start working, and not stealing from the budget .... Then Russia will rise, but not look for an excuse in the face of the Americans that "they printed dollars and live!" The question is ... what prevents Russia from printing rubles? Not enough brains and laziness ...

And the American car is good, it’s a pity that this will not appear in Russia soon ...

In Russia, the foundations of the structural and power scheme of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft (VTOL) were laid in the work of F.P. Kurochkin (1936) and in that very layout that is currently used in V-22 and AW609. The USSR’s weapons program for 1986-1995 included the creation of the Mi-30 convertiplane. The University of Ukhta (USTU) with the participation of the FALT MIPT and TsAGI employees recognized the importance and prospects of creating convertible plans for the Russian Federation and carried out research work "Determining the rational parameters of a new vehicle (convertiplane) for the northern regions and offshore fields." Engines of the type TV3-117VMA-SBM1 (2 pcs.) With a capacity of 2500 hp were each manufactured and well-proven. with a specific fuel efficiency of 0,205 kg / h.p. The project was named Stalker – 501- “Ulun” (polar owl). The chief designer of the project is Rudometkin A.P. The sum of the payload and fuel is taken equal to 4500 kg. The main desired project parameters in this case were as follows: fuselage length 14 m, rotor diameters 7,7 m, flight speed in airplane mode up to 500 km / h, practical range with a standard load of 14 people. and 2 pilots up to 2000 km.

The United States concluded that Syrian government forces used chemical weapons to kill at least 100 people. Thus, the “red line” was crossed, and this forces Obama to provide the rebels with “direct military support,” the White House said on Thursday.

Dear colleague, why in the article about Osprey cram the next news about the situation in Syria? Why tell me?

I recently noticed that there is an article about an advanced Western apparatus, clever men begin to post all kinds of news, why this is done, probably because there are no analogues in our army for the next 15 years for sure

Are you kidding me like that? Does Russia have no money? The whole problem is not that there is no money, but that they can’t do it, and if they do it with such difficulty and at such times that it becomes scary. The same ships that were previously built in 1 year are now being built for 5 years or do you need to fill up the plants with money and overpay 10 times for the products?

[Avenger711]

And why do we need an analog when it stands like a fighter? I have said more than once that for the development of the V-22 and the expenditure of a monstrous amount of money, with a scanty number of cars produced, the developers need to give the heroes of Russia.

It's just that people hear about the US debt and I think Wow, this is such a big sum. And for them, this means the end of the United States. And when you start to understand that 70-80% of the debt is a debt to yourself, but only 20-30% is to other countries. And that the percentage on the payment of debt is lower than it was when the United States had the smallest debt. It immediately becomes clear that all these are terrible stories.

I’ve been trying to figure out for a long time: how effective is the use of convertibles compared to conventional helicopters? All sorts of articles came across: from admiring reviews to abusive ones. If anyone knows: where you can find something seriously analytical. I will be grateful.

Any technique that flies or swims, providing support to the army and navy, which is in large numbers, will certainly be useful.
As an example, the presence or absence of SUVs. They do not have weapons, armor, etc. But how much they can be useful in wartime to judge you.

[bulgurkhan]

I didn't find it either, so I decided to compare it myself. Considering that the MV-22 is used on American UDCs, I decided to compare it with the K-29, which will be a transport helicopter on the Russian Mistrals.
MV-22 (K-29)
landing, number 24 (16)
cruise speed. 400 (230)
combat radius, km 700 (200)

I think the potential of Amer’s UDC of relatively promising Russian ones is clear from these figures.

[pensioner]

Thank. This is known. but there are many other factors: maintainability, cost of 1 flight hour, survivability, etc. So in the aggregate of everything, what is actually optimal? The tank’s armor can also be made of tungsten. One tank.

[bulgurkhan]

Amer has been tinkering with this aircraft for 20 years, because tiltrotoplanes have the same technical advantage over traditional helicopters as jet aircraft over piston aircraft. This is a new era.

[Manager]

Quote: bulgurkhan

This is a new era.

I agree. It is expensive, and this is the only minus. But if there are dibs, then why not make an OSPRI in exchange for transport helicopters?
No need to count other people's money. You just need to admit that even though our MI is 8 and the world vert, (all our turntables to all turntables of the turntable), but the V22 is a much more interesting and promising thing. With regards to safety, it’s easy to shoot down a regular transport helicopter. Only now v22 needs less time to leave the combat zone (evacuation of the wounded and delivery of ammunition and new forces, this is the main task of v22). In the near future, I think he and a good weapon hang.

[bulgurkhan]

Well, the first jet aircraft also cost incomparably more expensive piston aircraft.
Here is another such important point, as the development of new technologies giving a quantum leap.
They are now developing a host of new low-cost convertiplane projects that will make the Amer army incredibly mobile in 10-15 years and still enter the civilian market. It will work like GPS.

What kind of developments are you talking about? There was so much on paper that if we read, we should already be flying in space on starships and mastering the planets. Development can be considered this only when a prototype is built and it passes all the tests, and without it it's just a theory that in most cases is not implemented in principle or at this time.

[fzr1000]

After the story of Deputy Fedorov on the topic that we are a US colony (http://www.aviaport.ru/member/19335/),
at least it became clear to me why the government of D. Medvedev removed the projects of high-speed Ka-92 and Ka-102 helicopters from the program of future helicopters of Russia, and instead of them it launches a high-speed classic helicopter into development.

Then I remembered: “The leading Soviet helicopter company Mil was under the control of the American company Sikorsky, whose interests were by no means to equip the Russian Armed Forces with modern models.
... The advantages of the Ka-50 and Ka-52 are universally recognized, the desirability of the immediate completion of helicopters in Arsenyev has not been disputed, the need to continue work on the Ka-52 is confirmed - the subsidy is not increasing.
Quite the contrary: in the coming year 2005, the Mi-28N was funded to exceed the allocation for the Ka-50 / -52 already a hundred times.
"Rossiyskaya Gazeta" - Federal Issue No. 3613 of October 26, 2004 "

Therefore, it is not surprising that “KB Mil was unexpectedly supported by the son of a famous American aircraft designer Sikorsky. He said that now there are no opponents in the world, but there is competition between transnational corporations, and he takes the side of Mi. ” http://www.warlib.ru/index.php?id=000129 -

Well, what can I say: the owner - whom I want, that I choose!
Following his instructions, the world's best combat helicopter, the Ka-50 Black Shark, was withdrawn from service with the Russian Army.

And what about the Americans themselves?
"Sikorsky Aircraft Corp and Boeing will jointly implement the first phase of a program to create a demonstrator of promising combined multi-purpose technology." The creation of the demonstrator is planned to be completed in 2017.
http://www.aviaport.ru/news/2013/01/22/247596.html

Pay attention to their projects for future rotorcraft: all but one coaxial design, and that “one” is no longer classic, like the cost center with the American name “rachelle”, but with wings and a pushing propeller:
http://www.aviationweek.com/...

Our Ka-92: “For the first time, the Ka-92 concept was presented at the MAKS-2007 air show last August, when its model was solemnly handed over to Vladimir Putin (see“ Take-off ”No. 10/2007, p. 6).
According to Kamov experts, the prototype Ka-92 can be created by about 2015. By that time, individual technical solutions for the high-speed helicopter concept are planned to be worked out at flying laboratories, which will be created on the basis of today's production helicopters. A.F. " http://www.xliby.ru/.../vzlyot_2008_06/p10.php copy
Those. create normal conditions for S.V. Mikheev and the Ka-92 demonstrator would be ready two years earlier than the Americans! But alas! The fifth column did its dirty work and the Ka-92 projects together with the Ka-102 were completely removed!



The advantages of the Ka-50 and Ka-52 are universally recognized, the feasibility of the immediate completion of helicopters in Arsenyev has not been disputed, the need to continue work on the Ka-52 is confirmed - the subsidy is not increasing. Quite the contrary: in the coming year 2005, the financing of the Mi-28N will exceed the allocation for the Ka-50 / -52 already a hundred times. http://www.rg.ru/printable/2004/10/26/a43550.html
Hence it is not surprising that today, “The Mi-8 platform is still the pillar and breadwinner of the industry.”
http://www.aex.ru/fdocs/1/2012/12/11/22089/
I clarify: more than half a century of "platform"!

[lucidlook]

The usual undercover fight of two KB with access to the upper levels. Everyone strangles a competitor in all available ways, because the struggle is for survival. The Ka-50/52 also has many shortcomings (for example, vertical dimensions, which significantly complicate transportation in existing aircraft). Of course, for high-speed flights, the coaxial scheme is better suited (especially with rigid blades). The theme with the Ka-50 in general and with the Ka-50Sh is a separate and very sad story.

On the other hand, if you look a little more broadly, then both classical and perspective helicopters are needed now. Pay attention to what fly around the world right now, which is used widely and successfully.

Yes, funds must be allocated for promising projects right now. We hope that the president and the government understand this no worse than you and me. And as for the initial presentation, then, believe me, there is no fault of Medvedev in the fact that in 2008 the whole world was covered by a financial crisis.
