China received a new Ka-32 helicopter for the Antarctic


As reported on the web resource aviaforum.ru, on October 9, 2013 the State Oceanic Administration of China (State Oceanic Administration, the term State Maritime Administration of the People’s Republic of China is also used in Russian-language literature) was built on its order at the Russian Kumertausky OJSC aviation production enterprise (KUMAPP) Ka-32A11BC multi-purpose helicopter. The helicopter (serial number 523324159836, serial number 98-36) was delivered to Qingdao (Liutin Airport) by IL-76 transport plane of the Russian Emergencies Ministry on September 26, 2013. The cost of acquiring this helicopter for the State China's oceanographic control amounted to about 100 million yuan (about 530 million rubles).

This Ka-32А11ВС helicopter received the Chinese civilian registration B-7817 and was acquired by the Chinese side specifically to replace the similar Ka-32А11ВС helicopter (registered with B-7810, serial number 98-16) of the 2009 supply of the year based on the Chinese architect, who was injected by the architect. and crashed in Antarctica 8 December 2011 of the year (as reported by our blog). The new B-7817 helicopter is also intended to be stationed on the indicated Xuě Lóng ship (the Soviet 10621 project of the type "Ivan Papanin", completed for China at the Kherson shipyard in 1993 year) owned by the Arctic Ocean and Antarctic Administration of the State Oceanographic management of the PRC. Already on November 8, a new helicopter with this vessel will be sent to the 30 Chinese Antarctic Expedition.

This helicopter became the third Ka-32A, delivered by KumAPP in the People's Republic of China in the year 2013. Earlier this year, one helicopter of this type (serial number 98-39, Chinese registration B-7822) was received by the Chinese company Jiangsu Huayu General Aviation Co. Ltd. (Nanjing), and the other (serial number 98-39, Chinese hull number 15063) is the fire brigade of the People’s Armed Police of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in Ordos County (Hohhot).

    Apparently cheaper to buy than copy, or not a big need, nevertheless, thanks to the Chinese for supporting the helicopter industry in Russia!

        Make all the parts and assemblies with your own handles, assemble and try to set a price with your own hands. Now it’s our own, let's see what it will pour into.

      Do you think the purchase of one helicopter is a great support for the Russian helicopter industry?
      rather, selling copiers to copiers, put an end to the future of the ka-32a11vs.will copy and sell to others at a price lower than Russia.

    The Kumertau Plant is still alive. But the city is on the edge.
    1. Alive, alive, and not so bad, this city is not far from me.
      That's just a pity that again the Chinese drove something. Now they turn on the printer and it started ...
      A NEW SUPER TECHNOLOGICAL XJZ-32А11ВС will appear.

      If you have not copied since 1993, then they will not copy it now. I’m a former helicopter pilot, I flew on KA-27PL and Mi-8T I will say frankly, there is nothing more complicated and technologically advanced than the Ka-27-32 helicopter, and all planes are just an ordinary glider with an engine. What to spin in this helicopter is not only a simple layman, but also a professional pilot of the plane does not even imagine. For information, the word plane came from the words self-flies, so draw a conclusion. The only unresolved problem with the Ka-27 is the gearbox, the temperature of which should be 90 degrees, plus or minus 2 degrees, if higher or lower, leave the helicopter. But in general, this is a miracle helicopter. And my opinion, why the heck was developing the Ka-52, when it was possible to upgrade the Ka-29, install the VK-2500 and the hinged blades and saved a ton of money, I don’t know why they started this program with the Ka-52 and Mi-28? The upgraded Mi-24 is not nearly worse than the Mi-28.

        Given that the Mi-24 is conceptually defective and completely fails in Afghanistan? How the cargo Ka-29 can replace the Ka-52, which, incidentally, was obtained by banal replacement of the Ka-50 cab, all the mechanics there have been worked out for a long time.

          25 October 2013 10: 35
          In terms of weight and performance characteristics, the Ka-29 and Ka-52 are very close, if the Ka-29 is modernized, no combat helicopters will be needed by the Russian Federation. By maneuverability, the coaxial scheme is more efficient than the single-rotor one. When I went in for landing on a co-driver, I never slowed down and 50 meters before the landing gate did a pitch of 25-30 degrees for a couple of seconds, the speed decreased to zero and sat down calmly. With Mi-8, such a thing did not roll, it was necessary to slow down a kilometer before landing. But the cargo compartment during piloting does not interfere and it is very necessary in battle, for landing and removal of the wounded.

            Of course it’s more effective, otherwise they would not have bothered with it, but how will the Ka-29 replace a clean drummer? There is at least armor on it, there aren’t a number of necessary systems, and a helicopter will not master a ton or two of ammunition and landing at once, in fact, the Mi-24 will not master, never carrying an amphibious assault. True, the Mi-28 has a technological compartment for working inside where, if necessary, you can throw something, or pick up a couple of people. Mi-24 in the Afghan mountains with full ammunition did not always take off.

            Here is a bunch of Ka-52 (with Ka-50 for purely anti-tank regiments) and Ka-29 would really steer, and for small shipments on a straight Ka-60.

          Are you waiting for sales of 100500 helicopters for highly specialized tasks? The total output of the Ka-32, is unlikely to reach 200 pieces, it is ridiculous to expect someone to bother with copying.

    The first major Chinese expedition to the Antarctic took place in 2009. Naturally, in public, the main task was to research in strictly scientific fields. I do not exclude that in practice this took place. But the expedition's helicopters were mainly used for searching and collecting meteorites. It was in the Antarctic conditions - its intactness, the search for meteorites was not a difficult task.

      RIA Novosti, with reference to the Xinhua News Agency, reports that by 2015 China plans to build two new research stations in Antarctica. At the moment, China already has at its disposal three stations located in Antarctica. These are Changcheng, Zhongshan and Kunlun.
      Specialists plan to place one of the new stations between Zhongshan and Kunlun for scientific work from December to March. In the future, geological, geomagnetic, glaciological and other studies will be conducted there.
      Another research center that China intends to create on Victoria Land to study the ice continent will operate year-round. At its base, Chinese scientists plan to conduct multidisciplinary bioecological studies.
      China has been conducting a practical study of Antarctica since 1984.

    Lord, what a stupid people, firstly not in the Arctic, where the Chinese would not be allowed into the sector anyway without permission, and secondly, in the Antarctic, they bought a small-series helicopter, which is easier to buy than to develop, the USSR to the Ka family -27 VERY long walked. The Chinese in their entire history have not managed to illegally copy anything, all these variations on the MiG-21, J-11 were made on the basis of documentation that was legally purchased or received as part of the assistance (before Khrushchev).

    And to whom to sell something? You think sold in some Zimbabwe, or Honduras product can not be easily studied by those who want? There was only one defense against this, selling only large parties or not selling at all if the technology is critical. The question is, freaking civil helicopter is critical? And what is more critical, used in small quantities by different firefighters, rescuers, builders, in general, all those who need a helicopter that really can hang, albeit at the cost of a complex transmission and increased resistance in horizontal flight on a propeller column (although the Mi-28 judging by the max . Speed ​​even here compared with the Ka-52), an aligner, or Mi-8, which the whole world takes, like hot cakes, and copying that would be economically profitable.
