The Japanese authorities agreed to spend $ 332,5 million (41 billion yen) to buy five convertible planes V-22 Osprey from the USA, TASS Reuters message.



The publication notes that this is the first transaction for the sale of convertible plans outside the United States.

In total, in the foreseeable future, the Japanese intend to acquire 17 Osprey plus 40 engines for them. The total value of contracts for this transaction could reach $ 3 billion.

Now on the territory of Japan are 24 "Osprey" belonging to the American military based here.

TASS Help: “Osprey, with the help of variable-angle rotors, is capable of flying in both helicopter and airplane mode. In addition to a crew of three, it can carry an 24 paratrooper. The practical flight range without refueling is more than 2,6 thousand km. ”

          That’s all in vain say that.
          3/14ndos created a really interesting transport.
          Excellent performance characteristics, both in capacity and speed. They are capable of solving such tasks that neither a plane nor a helicopter will fulfill.
          It is likely that in the future, at the next level of those developments, much more will be spread.
          So I ask you not to throw your hats, but to think the same for us.

            I ask you not to throw your hats, but for a similar one we think.

            Even in 1972, domestic design bureau thought about So.
            Mi-30 - a project of the Soviet multi-purpose tiltrotor, developed by the cost center. M.L. Mile under the direction of M.N. Tishchenko in 1972.

            Inside the design bureau, this design scheme had its own name "propeller". The main task was to ensure such parameters of speed and flight range that would exceed the similar parameters of helicopters. The Mi-30 tiltrotor was considered as a replacement for the Mi-8 multipurpose helicopter in the future. As the power plant, it was supposed to use two TV3-117 engines located above the cargo compartment, which were supposed to actuate by means of a transmission two main rotors with a diameter of 11 m each. The estimated flight speed was to be 500 - 600 km / h, flight range - 800 km, take-off weight - 10,6 tons. The Mi-30 in the original design was intended for passenger and freight transportation of 19 passengers or 2 tons of cargo. Subsequently, the carrying capacity was increased to 3-5 tons, and passenger capacity up to 32 people.

            However, the American flew in 1989, and our Mi-30 remained on paper. Why request ?

                Takes off like an airplane from a concrete runway. Sits down like this. But the propellers must be kept at a precise angle and land on the ideal glide path. And with gusts of wind or sideways? And he will take off from the dune like a helicopter. In real practice, not on display. Will he sit in the mountains? This is it

            Look at the appearance and understand that if one of the engines stalls or is beaten up, the device is not a tenant. There will simply be a bunch of debris on the ground.
            They love amerikosy horseradish futuristic from the excess of dough to rivet. Summer performance characteristics are good, but in a real battle this miracle is not a tenant.

            but for the same we have to think.

            when the money has nowhere to go then we’ll think. In the meantime, even with the Americans, it’s a thing in infancy and soon it will begin to have childhood illnesses.

              They have a system of shafts there, if one engine stalls, then from the second the torque goes to both screws, so everything is in order with them.
              But if, if they do it, then any flying (and not only) apparatus will most likely turn into "a heap of debris on the ground."

              The device is innovative, problems are inevitable (the main ones were, in my opinion, with the fuel lines at the wing turning points), but they are solved and the accident rate there is within the bounds of decency.
              According to the second point, the envelope has an impressive carrying capacity, almost airspeed and in addition all helicopter skills. Well, in no way can it be completely blocked by either an airplane, or even a helicopter.
              There are a lot of materials on the performance characteristics, on impressions and reviews, if you're interested in digging around, everything is in the palm of your hand on the Internet.
              In general, a truly advanced device, sorry not ours.
              Ours I think they’ll make such a product in 15-20 years, at least as a hurt from experience (if there are grandmas).

        Friends, you can write a lot of things in the brochures. And to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of advertising TTX is impossible. But without even going into subtleties, you can understand that this unit is inconvenient in maintenance. The second aspect is the synchronism of the swashplate. Third - possible critical vibrations during the flight. That's where the hemorrhoids are.
        And in the picture and on the screen everything looks okay. But America had space shuttles. They were presented as the pinnacle of achievement. But now astronauts fly in Soyuz. The States have stealth planes. But their plaque is very modest. Finally, there is "twenty-second" and "thirty-fifth". Well, you've read all about them. Here is this device from the same series.

          This was not inspired by the tag "Japan", but by the search query "prisoners of the Japanese". And the topic of Japanese prisoners and "samurai flying on the ground" are directly related to the topic of the article - the question arises - why does Japan, which no one attacks, tiltrotors carrying paratroopers and permission to conduct operations abroad. In my commentary below, a rhetorical question was asked - beyond which border were the Japanese going to conduct operations? Is it for the Russian-Japanese? And the events of 76 years ago are directly related to the Japanese and tiltrotors by the fact that such a picture can become in color, taken on a modern digital camera. To do this, the Japanese should only try to "cross the border by the river." hi

        In general, as I understand it, "Osprey" is a universal delivery vehicle without any special anti-air defense systems.

        I don’t think that they are going to act naked on a hedgehog .... it’s clear that the landing will not go in the first echelon .... first fighter aircraft to destroy the air defense ... if you write that after the destruction of the air defense you can protect yourself from the landing with arrows and needles, then it is very difficult .... they have a very small radius of action .... i.e. MANPADS calculations should be found on almost the entire perimeter of the islands, which is unlikely to be realized given the number of contingents on the islands.

      This is exactly what is being prepared, and all our programs on the surface fleet are either suspended or pushed back. After all, it's a no brainer that the F-35 and these Ospreys will be based on these so-called Japanese destroyers. How are we going to slow them down? Corvettes and RTOs? Only our own and full-fledged AUG can resist such groups, but apparently neither destroyers nor aircraft carriers shine for us, the Japanese know this, and therefore they force their programs, realizing that in view of the proximity of the territories of nuclear weapons, you will not particularly use them, but more against we have nothing at the moment. Upstairs, judging by the inaction, the opinion is different.

        The Strategic Missile Forces will resist! Well, what nonsense, Japan is on us and aviation and the navy, and we are like Toko corvettes and "needles" .. An attack of this magnitude will automatically entail a response with the use of nuclear weapons .. And still there is no Japan, and after it the Arctic fox will come and the whole planet Earth for this (Japan) the conflict will not end.

          what kind of war? what kind of aviation and navy? what nuclear weapons? Some kind of scabies in all of the third world. From the purchase of five convertiplanes, the devil has already inflated.

    A tiltrotor is certainly a cool toy, and an expensive one.

      And what is its steepness? Is it not a normal helicopter, and not a decent airplane? request

    All the same, the future is more likely for high-speed helicopters.
